0:13 is No Agenda.

0:15 Oh, I can't believe I almost made a mistake. Hello, everybody. In the morning to you, coming to you once again from the Kingdom Of The Netherlands in Rotterdam, the gateway to all drugs throughout Europe.

2:00 rowdy.

2:01 Almost violent. You know, it's like I'm a wrestler or something. I'm coming out to wrestling

2:07 Exactly. You you need, like, the, you know, the pyrotechnics

2:10 going and everything. You got your you gotta take off your your gown, your dressing gown. You're good to go.

2:16 I'll hand that to my manager and then flex for the crowd. Yeah. You know? And the crowd goes wild.

2:27 Rob De-ser, De-sifer here once again with us for the best podcast in the universe. I'd completely forgotten because I'm still here in Rotterdam.

2:34 This is Labor Day weekend.

2:36 Yeah. That means no one's I sort of forgot about it. I don't even know what day it is and today's my brother's birthday and I'm like, what? What's going on? September is already here. I didn't even realize it was Labor Day weekend until I got the newsletter. I'm like, oh, hold on a second.

2:51 So that means no one's here. Just you and me.

2:56 No one ever There's three trolls? No. There's there's a couple of trolls. Let me let me take let's do an early troll count. Hold on a second. Let's see what we got here. We've got O, 706. Okay. 0719.

3:07 Oh, it's moving up. It's moving up. Okay. Yeah. It's moving up. Well, might be a good time to just talk about the No Agenda community. Wait a minute. Wait. Do you have your fan on? Do you have your Oh, I can. Yeah, I can turn it off. Yeah. Think you should because it's gonna it's gonna bug you. It's my landline. Hold on. By the way, sir Duchess

3:25 sir Duchess sent,

3:27 I don't know, 800

3:29 clips?

3:30 It's like you're you're outdoing me, man, with the amount of clips you've been creating. That's beautiful. Oh, it it got ridiculous this morning. It did. I can tell. What this is what happened. I played a gig last night and I'll get back to the No Agenda community in one second. But I Okay. We played a gig last night, I got home. I was talking to my sister on the phone. I kinda fell asleep after I talked to her, and then I woke up this morning and goes, oh, shit. I didn't make any clips yet.

3:55 So then I went it was like 07:30 in the morning, made coffee, made clips. It was like

4:00 You you went all in, man. I I was making clips too. I've been sitting with the with the grandbaby,

4:07 you know, just kind of rocking back and forth like, okay, clip clip, we'll do that. Make So you're cutting with one hand? Oh, yeah. Cut.

4:13 While I'm vaping. Yeah. Don't

4:16 don't tell Wait. Don't tell my daughter.

4:19 Oh my goodness. Hey, man. I can vape above the baby. It's okay. You could actually hold the baby while vaping and do clips in the other one. So you could I'm I'm that happening. This is only certain podcasters have this ability.

4:31 Did you figure out the wrap yet? You have the the swab?

4:34 Oh. The swaddling clothes. The swaddling thing. And I don't do I don't do the swaddle. I just like Okay. Come here, you know. And besides, whenever the baby's in my arm, it's always

4:43 it's always tooting,

4:45 you know. It's like

4:48 Always. That's what they do. They're processing

4:50 All the you know, American diet or I guess the Rotterdam diet diet at this point. Yeah. And So yeah. And so They're they're doing that up. But let me just go do a quick plug for sir Brian with an I.

5:02 He he out of the kindness of his own heart, I didn't even ask him, he grabbed a domain,

5:07 but listening to that opening music, he grabbed dewthedew.com.

5:13 So Do The Dew,

5:14 which is a takeoff of Mountain Dew. Yes. And then he made me a little site and it did a great job and it's, you know, there's nothing much on it now. We're building it up. But he he just did this. You are

5:26 giving him way more than he deserved.

5:29 And you you think this is the No Agenda community? That that's what you're that's that was your No Agenda community report? That was my well, I do have another part of that too. Okay.

5:38 Sir

5:38 sir Scott of the Armory also Yeah. Has been, you know, sending me tips and stuff, and he's extremely

5:45 you know, he likes what we're doing. He likes the synergy there. Oh, yes. Yeah.

5:49 He he was but he he said, this is this is what I'm seeing. I'm gonna do guess I'll do this Alex Yeah. Jones I would do it Alex. That's what I'm saying. I'm seeing. I I'm seeing you are now the Crackpot and he is the Buzzkill. It's That's what he said. You know what? It's yes.

6:02 And it's kind of weird because I always thought thought that would happen at one point where I would just be the old guy.

6:10 And in fact, it it really it has happened a little bit because you came in with the the Lancy Clancy stuff

6:17 and Oh, yeah. And and I was like, oh, man. Real and and it it it is by far

6:24 the number one trending story everywhere.

6:27 It's crazy.

6:28 And And I I I cut back on my clips of that just because I knew you were like, hey, how are you looking at I'm rolling my eyes.

6:36 I think it's gonna lead to some precedence

6:38 going on this trial.

6:40 And one clip I didn't cut was a comedian Owen Benjamin talking about that case, the Clancy case, and a case in, I think, Scotland or Ireland where a nurse

6:50 strangled her three kids, like, three years before. I mean, weird. And on the same day, it happened on the same day three years later. Yeah. But what here here is like

7:02 so it's just It's what people are talking about because this is something they can control their opinion. They can't control the war, they can't control the price of gas, but they can control their opinion and what they say on TikTok and all these other

7:14 forms of getting their word out there Well yeah. They can control it. But yeah. I understand. But it's got it's gotten into Candace Owens level conspiracy,

7:23 like, the husband, he's suspicious.

7:26 I don't trust him. And it's just it's just gonna go and I blame podcasts, honestly.

7:32 Podcasts and Substack, it's the problem. It's a it's a it's a real problem when it comes to this. You

7:38 mentioned a Substack you read last week about this. What what did what did it say? Was it said was it blaming the father? Well, no. It was talking about how many people think it's a psy op. I've gotten tons of emails from people, hey, man, is this a psy op? You know what? No. No. It's not. It's just like we went through this with the OJ trial

7:59 Mhmm. But we didn't have social media.

8:01 Didn't YouTube.

8:02 And we all had to kind of, you know, sit by the television and wait for the verdict to come down. And then we had the if the glove fits, you must have quit. I mean, we had our version of memes back in the day, but now now it's just out of control. And I I don't people must not be working,

8:19 you know, they're sitting at home or

8:21 they're sitting at the job and You know what they're doing. They're on the toilet looking at their phones. I think you said it though. I think you said it right is that

8:30 people feel so powerless about what is happening in the world in general

8:37 that all they have is their opinion.

8:40 That's that's actually that's a a pretty astute observation.

8:44 Well, and and their opinion and now at least has reach and they can send it out there and people go, oh,

8:51 I like this opinion or I don't like this opinion. They give it a thumbs up, thumbs down. Everybody gets to rate everybody's opinion. And if your opinion's good and has legs

9:00 Yeah. You know, in the eyes of this person, then it'll get broadcast around. Well, before we even delve into that, I I did a little bit of research because you you piqued my interest with so there's really a couple of things that are playing. So we got the the Clancy Lancy trial, I forget her name. We have the the data centers, which is another thing everybody has an opinion about, but no one no one wants to go sit in the zoning committee or anything like that. Okay.

9:25 We have

9:26 Muslims taking over America has kind of fallen down to fourth place, I noticed. Yep. That's that's kind of off the radar for the moment.

9:35 By the way, they are here in Rotterdam.

9:38 They are definitely taking over here.

9:41 And the flock cameras.

9:44 And the flock cameras,

9:45 I really wanted to understand a little bit better because, you know, it because it all folds into one. It's like the surveillance state and, you know, really the most stories about the flock cameras is law enforcement officers stalking their ex girlfriends, their wives, you know, seeing who's cheating. It doesn't seem like well, then of course ICE.

10:05 Well, it doesn't seem like there's, you know, really egregious

10:08 stuff going on. But it folds into the data centers

10:12 where, you know, this is the surveillance state and it's all gonna be stored right next door to us, which none of that, there's no evidence of this at all.

10:20 But you piqued my interest with your clip about

10:24 this extra piece

10:26 on the flock camera pole that was in a Walmart parking lot.

10:30 And it was, you know, there were some people and they were noticing that their Bluetooth would cut out. Mhmm. And so turns out

10:39 that

10:40 there's multiple first of all, flock camera the flock system is not just for law enforcement.

10:46 Walmart contract and other big box stores contract with them to track license plates in their parking lot.

10:54 And for a number of different reasons, to see how traffic flow is going, but also for thieves, you know, and then they shared amongst different stores.

11:03 Okay. These are shop lifters. They just parked. Be on be on alert. So it really doesn't have that much to do with law enforcement because it is, after all, it's a commercial company

11:12 that runs this.

11:13 But the this additional bit

11:17 is from an outfit called Signal Trace.

11:20 And they have a commercial

11:22 commercially available

11:24 add on or product

11:26 that you can add on to a flock pole.

11:29 And I found a couple of clips, and it's really quite disturbing because this is being done commercially

11:36 by the people

11:37 you shop from. SignalTrace is a signal intelligence system that's used in tandem with ALPRs.

11:45 And basically what this is is

11:47 think of a giant war driver, a pole that sits in place and logs every signal that drives by it, your AirPods,

11:55 your smartwatch, your iPhone,

11:57 your iPad,

11:58 your car's hotspot,

12:00 even the devices that you're using on your day to day. And it's not just limited to WiFi and Bluetooth. It can also supposedly log RFID signatures as well. This is where it's kind of concerning

12:14 because we've,

12:15 somehow moved past just mass surveillance on a camera level, but

12:21 the system is put in place to log everything. Now here's what's weird. Signal Trace is so sophisticated

12:28 that it will categorize

12:30 devices that it's seen traveling together and file it as one unit.

12:35 So if you constantly travel with a smartwatch, AirPods, Airphone,

12:40 and, let's say a IoT device of some sorts, whether it be a cord pewter or something of the sort, it will log that into its own group.

12:50 That's another level of monitoring

12:54 because after everything is come together,

12:57 it will basically categorize

13:00 that as you and label it with a location paired with your face

13:06 and location and this giant hub that's constantly monitoring.

13:11 This is mass surveillance

13:13 on an insane

13:15 scale. So all of that data correlation provides a unique fingerprint.

13:19 And I've learned that it also can include my hearing aids.

13:24 They have a they fingerprint me with so even if I left my phone in the car or didn't even bring it with me, your pet's RFID chip.

13:34 Oh, wow. Yeah. This is powerful stuff, man. And then Yeah. You think that that this is just one car or or, you know, no. They're they're really putting all of this together. Let's say that you got out of your car and you got into an Uber, the camera would then know that you have traveled from a different car. It wouldn't need to just log your license plate, God forbid somebody were to log or change their license plate afterwards,

14:01 then the camera would still know and the systems put in place would note that that the

14:07 person is no longer traveling

14:09 in the same vehicle that they were traveling in or is in an Uber and where they might go based on other third party data. Yeah. This is fantastic.

14:20 Because what people are mad about

14:22 is that they have signed

14:24 the EULAs

14:26 and they've given up on on privacy and now they're seeing that it's being used. Yeah. Law enforcement.

14:33 Sure.

14:34 But it's being used everywhere to to manipulate prices,

14:38 to understand your profile.

14:41 Send

14:42 you coupons?

14:43 Yeah. Well, of course. You know, that's that's I think most of it what it's gonna be, try to sell you stuff. Well, at end of the You know, the the big promise was to give me the right hat at the right moment just when I was ready to buy something. Yeah. And and it will replace the milk in my refrigerator

14:58 the minute it's out. But I mean, it's it's so bad,

15:03 You know, the LG TVs,

15:06 I mean, they literally they literally are listening to you all the time. And and if you if you look at the, you know

15:13 we have one. I'm like, oh, well, my Lord.

15:16 And and we got an a system update. So, oh, do you wanna read the the license? Yeah. Sure. I mean, yet with the remote control, my thumb got tired of scrolling down and then you get to the all uppercase letters and you know, you're just screwed.

15:29 Like, we should do all of this. It's all our own fault where we've allowed this to happen.

15:34 Here we are. Here's what Walmart just updated their app.

15:38 Now, the information they will be collecting is name, IP address, social media info, browsing and search activity, keystroke patterns, voice print, iris and retina imagery, face geometry, palm prints, fingerprints, household income, education. I mean, goes on and on. I'm not I'm halfway through the list. Yeah. So that's what you gave up when you

15:56 you yeah.

15:58 That they give you, you know, oh, you get $10 off if you join.

16:02 Well, I've I've been, you know, I've been not taking my phone down to breakfast here in the hotel.

16:08 You're

16:10 winning.

16:11 I'm win I'm winning. And they still oh, good morning, mister Curry. You know, you gotta log in to your breakfast.

16:18 Could you please scan your room key here? I mean, it's it's unbelievable how far this has gotten. So before we get to anything, I just want to

16:27 explain something about

16:29 artificial intelligence.

16:32 Because Pete, this is such a people are so negative about it. And I am completely negative on the chatbots. From day one, I said it's a parlor trick, it's bad, don't use these things as some kind of oracle that will has all the knowledge. It doesn't.

16:47 It doesn't. I think Gemini

16:50 actually does a respectful job at looking things up because it has direct connections to to Google, but that's it's really it's useless. Don't use the things like this. And I was surprised to hear

17:02 Jensen Huang, Wang, Jensen Huang,

17:05 the only guy who has a company that's making any kind of money and it's insane money,

17:10 which is Nvidia.

17:12 And so we had the g 20,

17:15 it was North Carolina,

17:16 the g 20 finance ministers, and my question, it was like, you know, the general Scott Besant was there and

17:22 Howard Lutnick for some reason was the interviewer.

17:25 So it's it's very Yeah. I thought that was weird too. And I almost I thought that was an older clip. I saw a couple of Lutnick clips. I'm like, Lutnick's there? Yeah. That was weird. And so this comes on the heels of

17:37 OpenEye OpenAI releasing

17:41 Chad GPT six Astra,

17:43 which as far as I can tell just does an amazing job at creating video stuff. I I haven't It's so powerful. Where

17:51 where's the where's the list guy? Give me the list guy. Come on.

17:55 OpenAI

17:56 is now introducing

17:58 what's it called? Astra.

18:00 Astra.

18:03 It's so so powerful.

18:05 The most powerful AI I ever invented.

18:09 But he But it's for your safety.

18:13 He he so Jensen Huang who know the whole look, I'm the new Steve Jobs. Look at my leather jacket. You know, he actually wasn't wearing the leather jacket at this. He had a suit and tie on.

18:23 He made some points

18:25 that

18:27 are are correct and I just wanted to highlight a couple of things from his from his interview,

18:32 so we can get a bit because I've been living this stuff for two years. I didn't just sit here and complain and say it sucked, I dove into it. I went really really as deep as I could,

18:42 you know, I I went on to Linux to,

18:45 you know, understand what what the combination can do of

18:49 the so called harnesses like ClaudeCode

18:52 and Ermes or Hymel's,

18:55 what's the other one, Pi,

18:57 All of them. I've tried every single one of them to really see, okay, what can be done with this? And I have had astounding results in productivity

19:05 for myself. Notice I haven't been able to replace John C. Dvorak with a robot. So there are limitations to what these things can do.

19:14 But just a couple of clips here that I got from Jensen. People are always interested on where the world's going.

19:21 If you if you were gonna give us sort of your big picture view, where where are we going?

19:26 I mean, for this to be the commerce secretary, like, does he really not know? Where are we going?

19:31 I'm just an interview. Go to MSNBC with these questions, the commerce secretary. Epstein was just my neighbor.

19:37 Which we'd be thinking about that we don't always talk about. You know, which you you see everything. Really, all the companies of the world sort of come and visit with you and sort of tell you where they're going. How how would you sort of give us a big picture of it, a set of ideas that we don't usually hear about? This is almost as bad as, Bono, tell me, what is the song about?

19:59 It it's an explain can you give us an explainer? It's like an explainer, which is just like Yeah. Explain it to me like I'm like I'm five years old. Like I'm five. Yeah. Please. Well, there's some things that that we hear and and then I'll I'll I'll juxtapose that,

20:14 against what I expect. And so for example, in the next couple of years,

20:19 we are going to achieve essentially what people call AGI.

20:22 Okay.

20:23 And It's always coming.

20:25 It's coming. And that's not an illogical thing to me. In fact, I would argue that we're practically there today. Okay. So he starts off with some mumbo jumbo AGI,

20:36 which the the what that means has changed several times. In fact, Astra is supposed to be AGI now, but it won't be. There'll be something else. So the the it's smarter than inhuman is just no. It's not true.

20:49 But the the business model is interesting because it's a bit like electricity,

20:54 it's a bit like mining Bitcoin,

20:57 in fact they call them tokens.

20:59 So it's kind of interesting to hear how they view this. So can you talk a little bit about how compute

21:05 produces economics?

21:07 Compute?

21:08 Yeah. This is this is the big strange idea. The idea is called a token.

21:13 And it this token is a mathematical

21:16 outcome of a lot of computation.

21:18 And this token represents intelligence.

21:21 You take all of these tokens, these numbers So first of all, it doesn't represent intelligence.

21:27 Gives you lots of smarts. It

21:29 it represents

21:30 a word, a phrase, you know, it's an abstraction.

21:34 It's not intelligence.

21:36 You take all of these tokens,

21:38 numbers,

21:39 you reformulate

21:40 them in such a way that it creates an image, writes a paragraph,

21:45 answers questions,

21:46 solves problems,

21:49 creates new ideas. No. It doesn't. These tokens are mathematically

21:54 produced in these

21:56 computers that we make.

21:58 And in a lot of in a lot of the same ways, if you go back a hundred years, a couple hundred years,

22:03 the world discovered this new idea called energy,

22:06 and you monetize it,

22:08 dollars

22:09 per kilowatt hours.

22:11 Today,

22:13 it's dollars

22:14 per million tokens.

22:16 It's the same idea.

22:18 It's kind of invisible.

22:20 It's hard to understand,

22:21 but it's incredibly valuable. Okay. So I disagree fundamentally that this is a great business idea to have,

22:28 you know, because

22:30 you're basically, these things are created with electricity.

22:33 You need a lot of it. So you might as well just say, you're translating electricity

22:38 into tokens.

22:40 Well, notice how he paused when he got to creating new ideas. He like paused for a second, like, should I say this or should I not say this? Yeah. That's that's total bullcrap. Because all these things do is is just have knowledge of

22:52 patterns and it and it brings the next pattern. But I do like the analogy of electricity

22:58 because when electricity first came out,

23:01 you know, everybody was like, well, I'm gonna die, you know, I'm gonna get electrocuted,

23:05 my house is gonna burn down. People were very afraid of electricity.

23:09 And I think that we're seeing

23:11 this

23:12 fear of AI in a different way, like it's gonna take my job.

23:16 And and all these bozos have said that over and over and over again, except for the one guy who's actually making money,

23:24 not by selling tokens,

23:26 but by selling people the hardware to create the tokens. So he's sitting in a in a really in a good place to say whatever he wants. But this is what it got me and this is the part that I have come to understand after two years of working with every single large language model,

23:44 the frontier models,

23:46 the open source models, running it on my own hardware.

23:49 This is what it's ultimately,

23:50 this is what it's about. You know, people people if you just take a take a step back and think about computer technology,

23:58 in the last fifty years,

24:00 computers

24:03 has been a tool for about, you know, ten, twenty million people.

24:08 And if you don't know how to the only the the way to take advantage of this capability is to know how to program the computer, design the computer. And so that's my career, designing computers and programming computers.

24:19 It's really narrowly focused on ten, twenty, 30,000,000 people around the world. For the first time, anybody in the world can program a computer. You can program a computer using human language. Yes. This has always been

24:32 Silicon Valley's

24:34 ultimate goal. And we saw it early on No. I wanna make an app that does this.

24:40 Clouds Count in the sky. Oh, no. Before all before all that, I mean, you may be too young, Rob do.

24:46 We had on the Mac, we had HyperTalk, HyperCard.

24:50 And the the promise there was you can just, you know, draw these cards and you have and you could put a button on it and you could make the button do something and it could do a calculation.

25:02 And I remember with my first Mac Plus, I'm like, oh, this is so cool. I can build computer programs without being able to, you know, to code

25:11 to write code.

25:12 And of course, no, it didn't work. Then they came out with AppleTalk.

25:18 Was it AppleTalk? No. Not AppleTalk. It was

25:22 was it AppleTalk?

25:24 I had a voice synthesizer on my TI when I was a kid. No. We all we all we all did that.

25:30 We, Of course, did.

25:32 But the Apple

25:33 script, that's what Apple script. Apple talk was the networking.

25:36 And Apple script was, oh, you can just type in words and you'll be able to program and no.

25:41 And there was no documentation.

25:43 It was incredibly difficult.

25:44 And really all we had was basic,

25:47 you know, with basic and how far did you get, you know. You can make a a basic game and And that's about

25:53 it took forever. If even that, you know, very but it was never I could just tell my computer what to do. And so you look at the power that we have

26:01 in phones, in desktops and laptops,

26:04 incredibly

26:05 powerful, but we

26:07 have been excluded. There's no there's no way,

26:10 like, I've tried many times I've tried to learn how to program in Python,

26:15 you know, it's like a curly brace, curly brace, and I wanna shoot myself.

26:19 You know, and I copy paste the example and I kind of understand what it's doing, and no, it just doesn't work. So

26:26 now you have

26:28 like Claude Code as a simple example, but there's, you know, there's the

26:32 OpenAI's

26:33 version and you have,

26:36 what is it, the the Grock thing that Elon bought. And so the Alton Codex

26:42 and you can pretty much say, alright, I if you've ever seen any of the pictures that I post about my studio,

26:48 if you look at that, if you look closely,

26:51 I'm running an operating system

26:53 which is

26:54 Gnu Linux. I'll say it right for everybody. Gnu Linux.

26:58 But it's the the

27:01 install

27:02 is

27:04 Omachi,

27:04 o m a r c h y. And it's really quite simple. You you download it onto a USB stick, stick it in your computer,

27:12 you know, you tap

27:14 f one a thousand times and the bios comes up and like, I don't know what to do and it says boot from the USB stick. If you can get that far, then it'll install this computer system and it kind of comes with these agents built in.

27:28 And so I just said, you know, I really want a better

27:32 play out system for my podcast. I have it in my head. I want eight players at the top, I want a cart wall on the side with multiple tabs on the left hand, because I've been using all different programs to do this with on Macs and Windows. So on the left hand side, I wanna I want my file browser, just the folder that I'm working in, I wanna be able to search really quickly for old clips and jingles that people ask for. And it built it for me. I did it maybe in twenty five minutes.

27:58 You know, and the downside of all these programs is you update something and then it'll have a cascading effect of

28:04 screwing with these programs for some reason if they're not updated.

28:09 Well, there's all kinds of caveats everywhere. But Yeah. In essence, I created this and it's been working for eight months, maybe nine going on nine months now. I've improved little things, like for example,

28:22 but hey, whenever I get the donation spreadsheet,

28:25 it's a real pain because I have to then go search for

28:29 the different jingles that people ask for, so I made a donation spreadsheet reader, literally what I called it, donation tracker.

28:36 And you open up the spreadsheet in this program, which I just told

28:41 the my robot, which is Claude Code in this case, build this,

28:45 and and when you find a jingle in there,

28:48 sure that I just click on that cell and it loads it up in the player, in the in the thing that I already made before and it did that.

28:55 So I mean, this is

28:57 and I'm That's efficient. Very efficient. And I'm just a numb nut. You know, I'm not a programmer.

29:02 I didn't have to learn to code Obama.

29:04 And and this is

29:06 without a doubt, this is what the revolution is.

29:10 And the great thing about it is, ultimately you don't need to have Sam Altman or Elon Musk or anybody else involved in it. You can do that with open source, with stuff that's freely available. I suggest you support these projects wherever you can.

29:26 And and you can just build the experience or the tool or the application that you want

29:32 and and no one can stop you, no one can tell you, oh no, that's not the way it should work. If you want it to be funky and stupid, you make it that way.

29:42 And it to me, this is the revolution.

29:45 And that's what Wang is saying

29:47 correctly.

29:49 And so when he makes this statement, I think he's correct. We have to remind

29:53 industry,

29:54 that and I think the dialogue around safety and security is all fantastic.

30:00 However,

30:02 if you think about each one of your countries,

30:04 what is the worst outcome that could happen in this technology industrial revolution?

30:09 The worst outcome is that you don't take advantage of it,

30:14 that you are left behind.

30:15 That is the single worst outcome.

30:18 And that outcome comes from two that outcome could happen if we talk about the technology with fear, with uncertainty. The leadership,

30:27 talks about it, with so much concern, so much fear,

30:31 and, all the conversations around safety and security.

30:34 It it has to be balanced with a lot of conversation about about prosperity prosperity and and a a lot lot of of conversation conversation about what it can do. And so so I don't think it's about one or Yeah. So that's

30:45 that's the marketing problem. That's the problem that these guys have created themselves because they want government regulations

30:52 so that you can't just run your own model because, you know, you might be a terrorist and create a biological weapon

30:59 or become a cyber attacker.

31:02 They've done that to protect their business which is unprotectable because

31:05 open source is here. It's taken over. And if you've if if you got a teenage kid, give them an old laptop,

31:13 load

31:14 up Omachi

31:15 on a thumb drive and say, here, go at it and then program something with when Omachi was a Quattro, the fourth version,

31:24 it has agents right in there, you can load it up, it's pretty intuitive,

31:29 open source ones

31:30 and you know, you can even get an account on open router and you know, use that for free for a little while, but it's all very efficient,

31:38 it's open

31:40 and

31:40 this is where your kids need to be.

31:44 Throw out their phones,

31:45 delete the chatbots,

31:47 that's the antichrist.

31:49 But the stuff underneath that creates code is amazing and this I believe is the correct prediction. We've had the benefit in The United States to have built one of the largest infrastructures.

31:59 And and

32:00 because because of the pro energy growth and the the speed

32:05 and the regulatory environments in The United States, we've been able to build out really quite substantially.

32:10 And you you look at what's going on in The United States, AI is now generating jobs across every single sector

32:16 from chip fabs to computer plants to AI factories.

32:21 Boy, the just the number of jobs that we're creating is just hundreds of thousands. And as you know, and and, this year alone, we're gonna invest close to $1,000,000,000,000 into the world's into The United States infrastructure,

32:32 and, that's generating enormous economic growth and, of course, a lot of jobs.

32:37 It's gonna be a job creator. No technology has ever killed jobs.

32:42 This is not gonna be it. That's bullcrap from these guys trying to protect their businesses.

32:47 Don't buy into With

32:49 Omachi,

32:50 the only limit is your imagination.

32:54 I need I need need a whole end of show mix of that.

32:58 But Omachi, every I mean, I've been using Linux for I'm sorry. GNU Linux. Whenever you say Linux, you get these

33:04 Richard Stallman comes out of the closet. That's right. What are you doing? He bops me over the head. Or Cotton Gin or someone in the troll room. Yes.

33:12 Omach, it's it really is revolutionary

33:15 how well it works out of the box.

33:18 I I run it I've been running on all my computers.

33:22 It's I mean, it it's fantastic.

33:25 And you you don't need anything from Silicon Valley at all at all at all. But, hey, you run a you run a small business, create your own system that that will

33:36 help you with the whatever you can dream up, you can make it. You can create your own tracking system, your own reordering system that's catered to you and then even your own customer service system. Like, this is how I like to reach out to my customers. There there is really it is the sky's the limit with with a lot of this stuff. It depending on how it's used. And are are there are they really teaching people though how to use it correctly? No. Because I I see these courses and stuff like learn AI in seven days and I'm like, I don't think they're really teaching you. No. It's it's even worse. You know, the the

34:07 the big computer companies like Google is number one, used to be Apple. But Google has infiltrated our education system with Chromebooks.

34:15 Oh, yeah. Like, oh, yeah, you gotta use this and you gotta use the Now, also, if you just wanna get your feet wet

34:21 with what is possible,

34:23 I I don't like Grok bot and all that stuff, but or Grok itself.

34:29 But x I x AI came out with literally something called Grok bot.

34:34 And

34:35 it's an application, you download it

34:37 and

34:39 you get a computer in the cloud. So okay? So which is why I don't like it because you can use a computer on your desktop that you own. But if you just wanna see what's possible

34:48 and you can create these little bots

34:50 and you say, okay, this what you're supposed to do bot is you're supposed to look for, you know, this particular YouTube video with this with this content in it and let me know when it's there and and make a clip, just as an example. You can also say,

35:05 here's another bot and

35:07 whenever I get an email with this spreadsheet, I want you to get the totals and, you know, do something with it. You can literally

35:14 program that computer in the cloud,

35:16 in the sky, which you can even see the screen in this application

35:20 to do that stuff. It's fun to kind of play with it and see how it works. The downside of course is, it's not yours, you gotta pay for it eventually

35:29 and and it's not yours, it's in the cloud and then, you know, it could go away, it could break, you know, Elon could change his mind, whatever.

35:36 But that is the that is the essence of what you can do and I have four of my own agents open source running

35:43 all the time

35:44 on my own hardware at home,

35:47 and it's changed my life. It has

35:49 changed my life. I'm gonna have to do an Comic strip blogger keeps wanting me to do an interview for this AI arch wizard

35:57 YouTube channel,

35:58 which is just so annoying.

36:00 But I think I wanna show

36:02 how I have these these

36:04 my robots working to cut clips.

36:06 I mean, it's really astounding.

36:08 Goes in and say Yeah. I spent hours cutting clips this morning and I'm sitting there, I'm wondering how could this be more efficient because you have to find the clip, send the link, then you download it, and then you have to pull it into the editor, cut it on each side, make sure the levels are good, dump it out, and give it a name. Yeah. So You know, times 50.

36:26 Exactly. So I I got over a 100 clips.

36:30 Not not that I'm gonna play That's them what's gonna happen though. You're gonna have a 120 clips and you're gonna have a 150 clips. No. No. No. Because I've already I've already told my robot it was out of control. But I, you know, I was vaping and I was holding the baby. So, you know, I was busy with other things, not paying attention. The robot was going nuts.

36:47 But I literally say, okay, here's here's Jensen Huang. It's twenty minutes. He sat with Lutnick. I want you to pull out a couple of clips for me. It goes in, first thing it does is gets a transcript,

36:57 so it downloads the audio,

36:59 lo fi, gets a transcript,

37:01 then it makes decisions. Now I I've taught it this over time,

37:06 many many months,

37:07 you know, because it can't actually hear anything.

37:10 It can't hear when someone, you know, is breathing in to get into the next sentence or sometimes people just speak weirdly and so it would make these cuts in the wrong places.

37:20 It's gotten to the point where

37:22 it will create 50 clips for me

37:25 within

37:26 half an hour just based on links I've given it. And then I the longest amount of time is me listening to every single clip it made. Maybe

37:35 10% I have to fix and that fix is teaching it to do something. So think of the productivity

37:40 gain that I've gotten. I have now time to sit with my granddaughter,

37:45 thanks to this technology.

37:46 And vape. And vape, which is is is double bonus.

37:50 So

37:51 here's

37:53 I think is this the final clip?

37:55 Oh, can you send are you able to send the audio directly to your your earbuds,

38:00 your hearing aid?

38:02 Oh, yeah. No. But well, I I use a

38:05 different program called Obsidian,

38:08 which is, you know, it's like a you kind of save files into it. It's like a Dropbox, only a little more structured.

38:14 So it has a version of that Dropbox program

38:19 on my computer at home, and so it cuts these clips and they just show up in a folder and I can listen to them right there on the phone.

38:26 I'm telling you,

38:28 this stuff is amazing.

38:29 The chatbot stuff, again, antichrist,

38:32 completely, and I I I'm not even joking about that.

38:36 That is the worst.

38:38 And they're moving away from it. They're not they they're

38:41 you know, that was the parlor trick that got it all going. But but once they saw that there's no money in that and it's way too expensive

38:49 to run that, they, you know, it was really anthropic

38:52 Claude that moved to code, they'd really focused on that and that's the revolution.

38:58 There's nothing, there's no other revolution in artificial intelligence

39:02 than you as a mere mortal being able to create your own applications on your own computer. That's it. If something else comes along, I'll let you know, robots, humanoids,

39:14 Okay. Sure.

39:15 Whatever.

39:16 Fix the battery life first.

39:18 Speaking of robots, I got an Elon clip on a billion robots. It came out a couple days ago. Did you hear this one? Let me see. Where is it? Elon

39:27 Elon on 1,000,000,000 robots. When you make the robots, the robots will

39:34 robots will start manufacturing the robots, so you get a recursive effect.

39:38 So it it starts off very very slowly,

39:41 but then it grows

39:43 at an explosive rate.

39:45 So if you just say, like, ten years from now, I would say there are well over a billion humanoid robots. And the productivity per robot will be probably five times that of a human, meaning being that the

39:57 productivity

39:57 in ten years of humanoid robots, I think this is a conservative estimate, by the way.

40:03 This is this is what I I I be would be willing to to put serious money betting on,

40:07 that there will be at least a billion robots in ten years and that those robots will be at least five times the output of a human. Meaning, the the the billion humanoid robots will will

40:18 be more productive than all humans combined. Okay. So he's mixing a lot of metaphors here.

40:23 And he's talking like Elon,

40:25 which is always bullcrap.

40:27 You know, he's oh, self driving will be here, you know, in 1995.

40:32 Whatever. Okay. So,

40:34 yeah, maybe. But the metaphor of recursive software development

40:38 has been a dream

40:40 of software developers forever. That your own The software will write itself. The software will write itself.

40:47 To some degree,

40:49 there is some of that, but you know, there's just no I've seen no evidence that you can let it go and it creates everything perfectly and it's good to go. In fact, I've seen the opposite

41:00 of that. And

41:03 when you remove

41:04 the human knowledge from even the high level of what what is being created,

41:09 It it so far it hasn't worked out very well. When he says robots,

41:14 I'm not quite sure what he means,

41:16 you know, so you know, the robots will create the well, that's kind of kind of happening just in software. Will robots be building robots?

41:25 There's

41:27 good robots out there. I've had a robot in my house

41:30 for

41:31 five years and I love it.

41:34 It's called the Shark Vacuum.

41:36 And it's a fantastic

41:38 robot. One application,

41:40 it does a great job,

41:43 you know, after five

41:44 years, four years, time for a new one, they're half the price.

41:48 It's it's fantastic.

41:50 Yeah. That's the monitoring your conversations.

41:52 Of course it is. It's mapped the entire house, sent it off to China. So when the military age men from China who are now in sleeper cells, when they come to to take me and my wife, they'll know exactly what the layout of the house is. Get Adam Curry chatbots now.

42:08 But this idea, you know, this to me, the psyop of these robots,

42:14 you know, fighting each other and,

42:17 you know, running marathon races, which actually I think the Chinese seem to be kind of excited

42:23 about what can be done with robotics and artificial intelligence.

42:28 And, you know, here we've just gone into this sucks,

42:31 it's all SciOb's gonna take our jobs away, but data centers are all no good. This is an incredible opportunity

42:40 for America and I I don't know if we're gonna pull people out of this downward spiral that we're in about this stuff. And it's their own fault

42:47 for being such a holes about so dangerous we can't even give it to you, bruh.

42:54 Yeah. Oh, hi, Dominic.

42:56 And and you're saying that from the creator perspective, not even the user perspective. No. Which the user perspective is very kinda down on AI because I don't think they've been don't when they roll this stuff out, they don't No. Give you a good user manual to No. To put it together. Case of point, I we got some lights the other day and it's a there's a front attachment for a scrim that you put on the front. The scrim? And a scrim which would be like a, you know, a piece of cloth to kinda dampen the light. Alright? Oh, okay. Yeah. I got you. So it's got this piece that you push it in and then you turn it. Mhmm. And I couldn't get this thing for the life of me to to fit. They're And like, it's supposed to fit. It's supposed to fit. Well, I had to figure out that I had to take the hand the little handle off that you're supposed to use to make it fit better. You have to take that off. Then there's two pieces on the bracket that you you have to remove the top one and then it will fit. But there's nothing in the directions that are telling you this. And that's the problem. They don't they don't show, like, here's a piece they're just like, here's the equipment, go use it. Mhmm. And we're not gonna you have to figure it out yourself on how to do it or ask the AI chatbot how to do it.

44:01 The

44:02 a what is this? A 16

44:06 a 16. This is like they

44:09 do podcasting. It's podcast network.

44:12 They had a couple of guys talking about data centers

44:15 and

44:17 I I I think I agree with their stance on this stuff and and this is what president Trump is saying and of course everyone hates him right now. I mean, his war of choice

44:28 and everything's all messed up and it's no good and he's orange.

44:33 But I really think that there's something to this

44:37 revitalizing

44:39 the working class at least for the next few years in The United States by building data centers of which we already have 4,700.

44:47 Everybody might be out of out of a job like that. Elijah or Yudkowsky guy says, if we build it everyone will die.

44:54 And it's like, how about if we build it like we're gonna cure cancer.

44:58 We're all gonna live forever. I thought one of the best things Dario said was like what we need to do is stop talking about curing cancer and actually cure cancer. Actually cure cancer and actually make breakthroughs.

45:07 But just somebody like, my favorite line in the Bible is the truth shall set you free. Yes.

45:13 But the only person who can, the only group that can tell the AI industry's truth is the AI industry,

45:20 they need to just start telling the truth. Hey, when we,

45:24 okay, you're opposed to data centers. Well you know what, it's probably the best thing that has ever happened to working class Americans.

45:31 Yeah, exactly. You know, it's like going to college might be significantly

45:36 NPV negative now because you can go learn how to be an electrician,

45:40 a plumber,

45:41 an HVAC tech,

45:43 and make ungodly amounts of money. Yeah. So this has been amazing for working class Americans.

45:48 We now have a lot of data that particularly with behind the meter power generation when a data center goes in,

45:54 it transforms a town.

45:56 Like tax revenue,

45:58 it doesn't double, it like 10x's.

46:01 And it is revitalizing

46:03 all of these like dying small towns all over America.

46:08 Yeah. That's kind of what your penetration tester was talking about. Although, I'm I'm I think a good idea is to get a bond. You have them post the bond because a lot of them will go out of business.

46:17 But yeah, it's a catch up. But you know you know, the the next billionaire is gonna be the guy who can take the clip that says data center sounds like this and make it quiet. So you should play that so people can hear what a data center sounds like across the street from your house. Wait a minute. Do you have a clip of that? Oh, yeah. It's called data center sounds like this. Okay. Here we go.

46:40 Now

46:42 and and then it's gonna pan over and there's a house. You hear it go down just a little bit because of the directional mic. And you're like, okay.

46:50 That's Now if you could figure out how to make those things quiet, you're gonna make a billion dollars easily. Well,

46:55 that's all but placement,

46:56 obviously. You know, the the the these guys talked about Loudoun County, Virginia, which is million dollar homes. My favorite is Right. You know, Loudoun County, Virginia, which is like the highest

47:06 highest

47:08 per capita income

47:11 Capacity. Zip code in The US Yeah. Or county in The US.

47:14 And it it has the highest density of data centers. Yeah. And they and they make a tremendous amount of tax revenue from data centers, like we should we should do this everywhere. Yeah. Well, it was actually very funny. Someone very opposed to data centers said, oh, you're for data centers. I'd like to see them put in the highest income zip code and the highest, you know, income county. And they're like, actually,

47:32 the highest income zip code in America and the highest income county has the highest per capita concentration of data centers. So we've done that. And it worked out really well. You know, I had a data center in 2002

47:45 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

47:47 The data center noise that you're hearing,

47:51 that's not your typical data center housing

47:55 computers and running

47:57 GPUs.

47:58 That data center is a typical Bitcoin

48:02 mining

48:04 operation

48:05 from couple years ago

48:08 because they they didn't need to liquid cool them. Now everything's liquid cooled,

48:12 which is also not taking all your water.

48:15 And they they basically

48:17 just had a hole in the roof and just sucked the air from from outside and blew it out the top.

48:23 That's what those noisy data centers are. They're Bitcoin miners.

48:28 So all of that is is is not in play anymore. These data centers

48:33 that just run GPUs,

48:35 they're not, you know, the liquid cooling is silent.

48:40 Well, and when they're talking about the tax revenue,

48:44 and the amount of money they make for the region,

48:47 my, my friend, they live they have a neighborhood and they're gonna bulldoze this entire neighborhood of beautiful huge homes and give everybody around $4,000,000 per house so they could build more data centers. Because around them is nothing but data centers. Yeah. And it doesn't You're right. It doesn't sound like what what we just played the data center sounds like this. Yeah. No. It doesn't. It doesn't. Anyways, that that was my AI

49:09 data center story for today. I just wanted to get it out there. I wanna be on record as saying

49:15 the chat bots are evil.

49:17 Stay away from them. Keep them away from your kids. But

49:20 give your kids an old laptop and tell them to install

49:24 Omachi

49:25 and

49:26 work on some

49:28 build something

49:30 with a with a harness as it's called, with an with an agent. Build something. And you'll see. This is this this is has huge potential.

49:39 Yeah. I'm gonna get my son working on that. I just pulled up I pulled up the website a little bit ago. My oldest son, and probably my second son too. He's 16 and he's he's

49:48 he's probably the smartest in the family, if you ask me.

49:52 Yeah.

49:54 He's well, he takes after his dad a lot.

49:57 We don't always see eye to eye, but he's a he I think he's probably got he

50:02 it's easy for him to do things, you know, school's no problem. Mhmm. You know, life I'm like, you need more obstacles

50:09 in your way to overcome. Oh, really? Because what happens is you you think life's always easy and then, oh, all of a sudden, you know, you get a you get your head spun around. Now

50:19 I have a clip, you were talking about the FLAC cameras,

50:21 and on the FLAC website, when you go to their website, it says, you know, that you were keeping the information for thirty days and now they're like, oh, no. Now we're only keeping the license plate data for seven. Well, the city of Sheboygan is deflocking their area

50:36 and

50:37 you hear how long they they have the data, they all this data that they've kept. It's amazing to me. Okay. You're gonna have to help me with which Oh, sorry. Sheboygan deflocking.

50:46 Sheboygan.

50:48 Sheboygan. How do I think it was Sheboygan.

50:51 Ah, of course. Sheboygan.

50:52 Yes. Block safety tried to sell traffic data

50:55 to the city of Sheboygan that had been captured by Sheboygan's

50:59 own flock camp. Oh, wait a minute. So they put they they put them down and then they make the deal?

51:05 They try to sell it after they've installed the flocks? They they just went and installed the flocks and they're like, hey, we have this. And I think they had already inked a deal to do this, but then I think when they saw how much data they had, they kinda they kinda freaked out. Flock safety tried to sell traffic data

51:21 to the city of Sheboygan that had been captured by Sheboygan's

51:24 own flock cameras. Fox six investigator Brian Paulson is here with more breaking news about this embattled company known for its Breaking news. License plates. Yeah. You guys remember last week we talked about this, the company that's known for scanning these license plates. Well, they covered up city of Sheboygan covered up, I should say, their flock cameras, said they were working to cancel their contract with the company. Well, now we know why.

51:45 And the reason for that, mayor Eric Sorenson telling the Fox six investigators earlier this summer, a flock sales rep emailed the city's engineering department offering to sell the city five years worth of data on traffic speeds and movements captured

51:58 by those flock cameras.

52:00 That means Sheboygan's

52:01 flock cameras have been tracking your driving speeds and movement patterns, something the city says flock never told them about. Flock, of course, already facing nationwide backlash over officers misusing the data for personal reasons like stalking romantic partners. Chief Zempel said this new level of undisclosed

52:18 data collection

52:20 undermines his trust in the system, and he's not alone.

52:23 Yesterday, Kenosha police chief Patrick Patton told me Sheboygan's

52:27 experience is part of the reason Kenosha is moving on from flock as well. I think it's just fun to say Sheboygan.

52:34 Sheboygan. Sheboygan is just a fun name.

52:36 Wisconsin is a very nice state if you ever never been there.

52:40 Very green,

52:41 so much green. You just drive around this place. And I was there it was during,

52:47 the primaries for 2016.

52:49 And just a beautiful state and Appleton,

52:53 Wisconsin just felt like a a nice small town. If you're you want a small town atmosphere,

52:58 they have a nice small town. Then they have the outer loop areas that are kind of suburban y, but it just had a it had a very cool feel. And, I just thought I should shout out to the Wisconsinites out there. We have them. Do nice. We have people in Sheboygan, in fact. And yes, Gitmo

53:13 Nation is big and bad and worldwide now. It's probably cold in the winter though. No. It's very cold. It's very cold. You

53:20 this is this is kinda tripping me out, Rob Dew. What's that? Well, I'm looking at your clip list

53:26 and you actually have titled

53:29 three clips here

53:31 with the suffix anal.

53:33 Well, was in an the ode to John Throwback

53:37 an ode to John C. Dvorak. Well, I think you might as well get into these clips because the

53:42 fact that you have some anal clips is just this analysis must be fantastic.

53:46 So this this is I believe his full name is Garland Favorito and I've interviewed him one time. He is a investigator

53:54 out in Georgia and he's been looking at the shenanigans going on in Georgia since the twenty twenty election. Right. And when you talk to this guy, he is a walking encyclopedia.

54:03 He just pop, pop, pop, pop, And what he's he's talking to Christie Lee, a former reporter at she was at InfoWars a few years ago and she's moved on. I I believe this is a Lindell TV clip. So she's working for Lindell TV

54:18 where where they're they allow you to put your opinions out in your interviewing

54:23 Mhmm. Where they don't always do that in other places. But what they're talking about is the ruling with the mail in ballots and how that was just a stalling tactic basically by the judge because she kept putting making these rulings in and then they'd have to go to the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court would rule, knock it back down, then she'd do another ruling. Yep. And he's basically analyzed her pattern and at the at the end, you know, he's saying she's basically a a partisan hack trying to do anything to delay this. So, like we covered last show,

54:51 well, they're not gonna have time the postal service is not gonna have time to do this because, oh, it just happened now, but they're act this happened back in March when Trump first tried to get the postal service in on this. So they did have time. Now they might not have time now because we're into September

55:06 and maybe there's a final ruling in, you know, two or three weeks and then, you know, you're a month away from the election. So Yeah. You have to you have to get this stuff, especially when you're dealing with this amount of, these large databases. But, yeah, this is Garland, Favarito.

55:21 We'll start with, ruling one.

55:23 Anal.

55:24 Anal. What judge Indiri Tawani did, he just wrote about that. She's already blocked key parts of the president's mail voting order and this week she warned that that rushing new postal rules could mean major disenfranchisement.

55:38 Is

55:39 she stopping chaos or stopping the one lever Washington has on mail ballots. I mean, it's so frustrating.

55:46 And her her rulings,

55:48 which have been overturned

55:50 by the Georgia Supreme Court,

55:52 date back months.

55:54 And now she's basically given her political friends, the 23 Democrat AGs,

56:00 some ammunition to say, well, oh, you know, there's not enough time, so on and so on. Well, the reason there is not enough time is exactly what you just said, Christie. She created the chaos.

56:12 It wasn't president Trump,

56:14 but in making false rulings

56:17 that had to be

56:19 overturned by the George Supreme I mean, The United States Supreme Court.

56:22 She is the one who delayed everything for months and

56:27 and basically created the chaos.

56:30 Now,

56:31 correct me if I'm wrong,

56:32 Rob,

56:33 but judges,

56:35 if even federally approved judges,

56:38 they don't have to be lawyers or necessarily

56:42 schooled in law, do they?

56:44 No. In fact, it's okay for some of these judges who aren't lawyers to own businesses where they're sending

56:51 their inmates, the the people they they provide guilty. Right. Right. Exactly.

56:56 But but people don't understand that. They go, well, you know, a federal judge, you know. A judge. A judge knows what they're doing. But there's that's far from it. I remember

57:04 we were, you know, much more involved in local politics than I ever was living in Fredericksburg.

57:10 But I saw who was running for for Gillespie County judge, I'm like, she can run? No. No. No. No. I don't want

57:19 her a judge of anything. You know, it's it was kinda weird. I I didn't really even realize that. And so this is same with

57:26 the with the federally appointed judge judges.

57:30 So then they rule by feelings is what you end up getting. Pretty much. Yeah. Yeah. So and then he goes on and through this and just explaining how

57:39 the the things she's doing,

57:41 you have to you have to actually have a damage before you can make these rulings that she's made. You have to be hurt. You have to be you should be able to show on the doll where you were hurt before you can do anything like that. Right. And she's ruling before these

57:54 judgments even come or before the announcements even come in of these programs. So before Trump even did this, she was already had her thing ready to to, I

58:03 guess, spring it on them to kinda, you know she's playing the tar baby game. She's throwing tar babies out there to get peoples caught up in them.

58:11 And and she, you know, obviously it's working. So it's a strategy that they're gonna keep doing. She speculated

58:17 the claims that the the state

58:21 AGs

58:22 have. There was no evidence that No evidence. No evidence. Claims were true because in any court of law, you have to have what they call a particularized

58:32 injury.

58:33 So you have to have a specific injury

58:36 that you were suing about.

58:38 Well, the rule has never been implemented.

58:41 In fact, when they filed the case, the rule hadn't even been published

58:47 and there was no way, she has to know that that was an illegitimate

58:52 ruling in the first place. So she's using her political

58:57 motives rather than actually rule out facts and evidence.

59:01 But isn't that isn't that isn't this what eventually went to the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court said that like, you know, there was no harm so, you know, it doesn't count right now or is this now after all that?

59:11 This is you know, he then he explains that how

59:14 the supreme court basically admonished her and and told her and they gave her a lecture and told her there's six different ways that this your argument is wrong. You have to have you have to fill these out. And

59:26 at this point, you would think the supreme court could go, hey, and now we're just taking away your judgeship because now you're just wasting everyone's time. I don't know I don't know what you do with some of these judges because they it's like they can't be touched and they're just allowed to muck up the works. I mean, you have to have basics

59:41 to move these things forward. It's like a a frivolous

59:44 Lawsuit.

59:45 Yeah. And she was just actually

59:47 admonished

59:49 up up one side and down the other

59:52 by the Supreme Court over that very

59:55 thing. They listed like six different types of speculation

59:59 she would have to do to reach the conclusion

1:00:02 that she reached in the initial

1:00:04 injunction.

1:00:06 And

1:00:07 that was of course, each one of the six

1:00:10 would throw the case out

1:00:12 because you have to have a concrete particularized

1:00:15 injury, which is what they explained to her. And that's something that literally every lawyer

1:00:21 out of

1:00:23 law school knows,

1:00:26 that you have to have a concrete particularized injury to sue in civil court. So

1:00:31 that it's so it's not a matter of her being stupid,

1:00:35 I think it's it has to be a matter of her being corrupt.

1:00:38 Yeah. Being political, it's all about the midterms and obviously there's at least 26 states who don't want this to happen.

1:00:46 And I presume most of them are democrat states, but I don't I'm not even so sure. I I think this is

1:00:53 Well, Nevada just pulled a bunch of people off the rolls and people I think it's like 400,000 or something. Really? And yeah. I think I think it was Nevada. I guarantee you, if you just gave me the voter roles, which is just a spreadsheet, you can get it. You know, it's they have to give it to you if you ask for it. I could vibe code this in a day.

1:01:12 Just

1:01:12 give me an old IBM laptop. Give me a ThinkPad. I'm sure I can do it. I got a couple clips on this.

1:01:18 Because, of course,

1:01:20 Ms. Ms. Now, MS Now,

1:01:23 they just keep on hyping up the

1:01:25 Jamie Raskin whistleblower

1:01:28 who is not really a whistleblower because nothing illegal has been done. The so called whistleblower

1:01:34 who was anonymous

1:01:35 hiding behind whistlebloweraid.org

1:01:39 is just saying, well, you know, the project's no good, man. With just fifty nine days now to go before the midterm elections, no less, this week an anonymous federal whistleblower came forward with a warning about, you guessed it,

1:01:52 this very same problem. The whistleblower alleges that the US Postal Service is moving forward

1:01:58 with a quote secretive, rushed, chaotic, and fundamentally flawed process to implement Trump's order on mail in voting. You just have to understand that they're talking about a whistleblower. There's no whistleblower.

1:02:09 What is the crime here? It's rushed?

1:02:12 That's not a crime. So you're not a whistleblower, you're someone saying something and this He got an opinion. This got an opinion based. Hey, man. That's like your opinion. I got an opinion about this, man.

1:02:23 It would require states to give the postal service lists of voters approved to receive mail in ballots. This is not it's not requirement.

1:02:31 It's a requirement for the state to give that to anyone who asks for it. And according to this whistleblower, that includes

1:02:37 quote,

1:02:38 decree No one has interviewed the whistleblower, I might might point out. It's been a letter

1:02:43 that went to Jamie Raskin. Oh, was it Raskin?

1:02:46 I think it was Raskin, wasn't it? That's who well, that's who they But that's who you mentioned.

1:02:50 Oh, it was it Raskin? Raskin or Oh, no. No. No. It might have been the other guy from Connecticut. Yes.

1:02:55 The guy looks like he's his skin is Blumenthal.

1:02:58 Blumenthal. Blumenthal. Right. Blumenthal. Now, I have a I do have a clip of Raskin because he's in on it. But they haven't interviewed the so called whistleblower. It's just a letter that was sent on behalf of the so called whistleblower

1:03:09 to Blumenthal's office and they'll no. They're just talking out of their collective butts. This whistleblower, that includes

1:03:16 quote,

1:03:17 the creation and implementation of an entirely new and untested set of IT systems including the federal ballot mail

1:03:26 portal. Hold my beer.

1:03:28 Hold my beer. I'm gonna vibe code that for you. A system designed to verify federal mail ballots. What could go wrong? Nothing.

1:03:37 It clogged clogged

1:03:38 codes got it handled, man. According to the report, an ordinary process

1:03:42 of this scale could take up to nine months to a year. But the whistleblower says it appears the USPS

1:03:48 quote

1:03:49 discarded

1:03:50 discarded best practices to speed up the project for a September 1 rollout. Yeah. I think didn't you say that the other day?

1:03:57 Elon's probably gonna get pulled. Hey, Elon. Build that for me. Just build that for me. Think he's I definitely think he's in on it. I mean, I have no information

1:04:03 knowing either way, but that's my that's my Red Book prediction. Dude, we can do this with Grokbot. Okay? Just watch. It'll be fine. You know wanna know what the warning said?

1:04:13 Cat Woah. It's a dramatic you know what the warning said? You know what wanna know what the warning said? What is

1:04:19 catastrophic

1:04:20 failure. Catastrophic. Which could derail the midterm elections.

1:04:24 No.

1:04:25 It might it might delay

1:04:27 mail in ballots coming in, but, you know, we wait weeks for those anyway. So I don't see That's how we win elections. I don't see how it will derail anything. Importantly, the whistleblower also alleges that the postal service stepped out of line by by continuing to work on the system during an ongoing legal battle. Oh. Federal judge Indira Talwani has already temporarily blocked key parts of the mail in ballot rule, and she extended that block. Is that the lady who we just Oh, yeah. That's her. Okay. Tawani. Last night.

1:04:55 What's that? Tawani?

1:04:57 Tawani? Tawani? Tawani? Tawani? T a l w a n I. The administration appealed that within hours.

1:05:03 In arguments the day before, Talwani pressed the justice department asking, quote, so we're going to do a test run on this election?

1:05:10 Oh my goodness. She added, we're not playing an intellectual puzzle game. We are talking about people's right to vote. No. They have the right to vote.

1:05:19 It's just We're only gonna test a vaccine on 300,000,000

1:05:22 people. What could go wrong?

1:05:25 Do you guys know that this is all happening as the first round of ballots were sent out this week? Oh, no. Oh. It's bad enough that we might have a technological disaster ahead. One that can prevent millions of Americans from voting. Disaster. But that has taken a whole new level

1:05:39 when you remember what the president seems hell bent on doing,

1:05:42 restricting the vote in November. So it makes you think, if the whistleblower was right when they said it raises questions about whether catastrophic failure

1:05:51 would be a feature rather than a bug. Now that's an interesting point. I I kinda like that.

1:05:56 So Oh, this is We can't have this We can't have the mail in ballots anymore because it's a catastrophic failure. And then it Yeah. Could could catastrophic be failure. So here's Now guess where judge judge Tualny went to school? Where do you think she got her juris

1:06:10 doctor? She is a lawyer.

1:06:12 Where do you think she got it from? Berkeley.

1:06:14 Berkeley.

1:06:15 What? Did you look at it? What? Was I right? You're a 100 a 100%. Oh, a nineteen eighty Yeah.

1:06:22 Okay. So here's what could go wrong. I mean, ordinarily,

1:06:26 in past elections when you mail ballots,

1:06:29 state will go, they'll they'll print out the ballots, they'll have them printed, and they'll go in batches. Right? There's not, you know, wave a wand in a 10,000,000, a 100,000,000 ballots just show up. Right? They take trucks, they take printers, so states would go down and they would Mhmm. Take a batch, 10,000 ballots, they deliver them. Right? Yeah. We saw that happen. More than the morning. Yeah.

1:06:48 We'll deliver them to you now. And ordinarily, after printing out a standard manifest like you do for any mailing, you put it on top, you take it, you drop it off, you're done. Right? Now the rule has a number of steps. And at the end of all these other steps where you're printing things, comparing things against lists, getting permission to bring these ballasts down, now at the very end they're doing Wait a minute. I would expect this printing things verified against lists to already be in place, but that seems to be something new they just thought. Wow. We have to do that now? We gotta verify against the list? Another spot check.

1:07:19 And and any failure, any failure of a ballot to read, there's barcodes that could be smudged. The equipment has certain error rates. If there is a failure for the sampling they test, the whole thing goes back.

1:07:31 And what ProPublica

1:07:32 Wait a minute. Wait. Who's who says the whole thing has to go you mean I don't understand.

1:07:37 Well, when they do read ballots on some of these, at least in Georgia, they showed this of the lady putting ballots in. She wouldn't quite finish a bat. She get to like 98 and then there'd be an error and then Yes, she'd run them again. Yeah. But if they don't reset the number, those get added. It just keeps so instead of a 100 or instead of a 100 ballots, you get a 198 ballots. So so that's your feature? Not a ball. That's your feature right there. Oh, okay. That's your guy looking at the Chad, the hanging Chad photo. So what he's saying is, hey, that really sucks. Instead of being able to run them twice with a smudge barcode,

1:08:08 now we can only run them once? Oh, no. Because for the same thing they test the problem. The whole thing goes back.

1:08:14 And what ProPublica,

1:08:15 indicated in reporting ProPublica. Yeah. I love those guys. Certainly is that Maricopa County had raised concerns about this because they have tranches of a million ballots that go out in these mailings. Right? So a million ballots could go to the post office. They check a few. One barcode's not readable. Maybe the machine's not working. Maybe it's smudged. The whole thing goes back. They have to do the whole thing again. Print it print out manifests. Wow. Make sure the manifests are approved, and then bring it all back again. So it's really a It seems it seems it just seems to me that

1:08:45 something as important as votes

1:08:48 and ballots

1:08:49 should be correct. And so if it's incorrect,

1:08:52 sorry, yeah, you gotta do it over again.

1:08:55 And that's like, is this such a chore?

1:08:58 Why is this so horrible?

1:09:00 Well, like the the

1:09:03 autograph, the signature verification,

1:09:05 they were looking at that in some of these states and they would run it at like 98 DPI, so you'd have this crappy looking signature that then they would try to compare it to the signature and they were just like letting them through, letting them through. And the and even those, you could tell those signatures don't match because people were putting putting the images out there. I think that happened in Arizona Mhmm. In the last couple of elections. So the manifests are approved and then bring it all back again. So it's really a a

1:09:32 systemically a catastrophic

1:09:34 potentially allows for catastrophic failure. No. Allows for catastrophic failure. I don't know if it's catastrophic.

1:09:40 It's not all not all the votes are are mail in. But then then, Emma's now,

1:09:47 they

1:09:48 suddenly they'd like to compare this to

1:09:51 some other problem, some other

1:09:53 government system that was being built,

1:09:56 I might point out during

1:09:58 administration. The Department of Veterans Affairs is another example. Oh, yeah. Veteran Affairs. And it's it's massive ongoing

1:10:04 electronic health modernization project. The goal It seems like a little different than, than ballots, but okay. There is pretty straightforward.

1:10:14 You update the old one

1:10:16 and use critical software

1:10:18 to store and track veterans' health information.

1:10:22 But the rollout has been not so simple.

1:10:24 According to the Washington Post, early deployments of this system had a host of issues, including disappearing notes, prescriptions logged with with wrong dosages. Okay. I just want you to listen to the comparison because you know where this is going. If we don't do these votes right, people will die. And there was a 2023 FOIA disclosure that revealed

1:10:42 that the system played a role in more than four thousand

1:10:45 four hundred cases of known harms ranging from minor, it says, to catastrophic,

1:10:50 including six different deaths.

1:10:52 That project was was halted briefly in 2023

1:10:55 with a VA official overseeing the effort admitting this, quote, for the past few years, we've tried to fix this plane while flying it. Oh. Yeah.

1:11:05 Okay. Now deployment of the program We expect you to die.

1:11:08 I just wanna vote. And that's exactly the same thing we're doing here. We're fixing the plane while flying it.

1:11:14 But now deployment of the program has resumed. The VA says the software issues have been addressed. But just this week, the government accountability office told congress that the VA has only addressed four

1:11:24 of their 18 concerns

1:11:25 with the technology.

1:11:28 Alright.

1:11:29 Alright. What are you texting me, Rob Dew? Oh, I just text you a picture of a guy looking at a hanging chad.

1:11:35 I

1:11:36 remember that I

1:11:38 mean, that guy He was good. He's his glasses aren't even good enough. He's gotta raise the glasses and look at it. You think, you know, the Associated Press photographer's like, don't raise your glasses. Remember Do remember close? Open the eyes. I think I was in I think I was in in Holland

1:11:53 when that and I remember it was like two weeks and they couldn't they couldn't figure it out. Two week there's nothing now. You know, it's like, three, four weeks. We take as long as we want. Yeah. It's a month to do the merit per primary. Exactly. So

1:12:07 the

1:12:08 the president has not helped him his own

1:12:11 he's not helping himself

1:12:13 with this

1:12:15 Iran situation,

1:12:17 which as you know, I still think it's a good idea.

1:12:20 But It's like Blowing up freighters? No.

1:12:24 Cargo ships? No. That was interesting. Yeah. I think just stopping Iran's

1:12:29 choke hold on on that and stopping the the cash flow from the revenue from all that. I I I think that's a good idea.

1:12:36 But this,

1:12:38 you know, the

1:12:39 whole administration,

1:12:41 they bumble around like Keystone cops from time to time. Here's an example. Into the Iran war's seventh month with no end in sight, president Trump declaring this week the conflict is, quote, small potatoes. Yes. This is not good. This is not This is dumb. But eighteen US service members have died. Nearly eight hundred have been wounded, and a conflict the president said would only last four to six weeks. The turn doesn't feel like small potatoes.

1:13:05 Eighteen service members have died. We're seeing record long deployments. You initially said this last long. Why is it record long? So eighty second air How

1:13:14 long were we in Vietnam? No. Can someone please go to the president and say stop that? Stop. Sure. A deployment is something completely different. This has been rolling out for a year. Why why would you even make that comparison?

1:13:27 It's this is dumb. We're seeing record How long US Abraham Lincoln was out for more than two hundred and fifty days at scene. We've The president making those comments as he defended vice president JD Vance, who earlier in the week claimed it was not a war. I wouldn't call it a war. Right now, there is no active shooting. Our This week, commerce secretary Howard Butnick issued an apology after he says he misspoke when he forgot those 18 Americans who have died. I think the way the president is playing Iran, right, there's not there haven't been American deaths. It's really just an economic choke out,

1:13:59 which the administration

1:14:01 is now executing

1:14:02 more broadly. Lutnick later saying he was thinking about the operation in Venezuela.

1:14:07 Come

1:14:09 on. That's even worse. Come on. Give these guys the hook. That is that's just so dumb.

1:14:16 We gotta keep him on. Ludnick's a good guy.

1:14:19 Wish He's a friend. I wish they could just be honest and say, hey, well, I I, you know,

1:14:25 Scott Besson is kind of honest. He's he's at least telling people what it's about

1:14:29 about the have a Besson clip China Iran relationship. Yeah. And it it talks about the banking and what they're going after. I think they just went after a bank in Qatar. First first of all, Iran only has about 30,000,000 barrels of oil or crude on the waters now. So that's a that's a minimal amount that I I think somehow

1:14:49 this narrative erupted

1:14:51 that they well, if China is not on board, what we've had very productive, quiet conversations

1:14:57 here with the Chinese.

1:14:59 And the other thing too is the real problem,

1:15:03 the Chinese pay the Iranians in RMB.

1:15:06 The RMB comes back to the Gulf Region, and whether it is through neighbors

1:15:11 shipping

1:15:12 the supplies over, or whether it is through banks such as the one we put out of business in Dubai on Friday Dubai. Or whether it is the cash Yeah. Houses those are being closed down. So when that money cannot be converted to dollars,

1:15:28 then the regime will starve.

1:15:30 Yeah. And everyone who who is a part of the cash flows the regime, which is drugs and terror and hookers and all kinds of stuff.

1:15:38 Which is good, but they're bumbling.

1:15:41 And,

1:15:42 you know, then

1:15:45 so we knew we know the C. I. A. Radcliffe,

1:15:47 director of C. I. A. Went to Moscow,

1:15:51 did some kind of talk. We don't know exactly what what the discussion was, but obviously it's gotta be about

1:15:57 ending this this kerfuffle

1:16:00 with Ukraine

1:16:01 because, you know, Europe is just pushing and pushing and pushing.

1:16:05 They, you know, they want every drone

1:16:08 to be a Russian drone that is trying to blow stuff up. They really want this war to escalate

1:16:15 and they want Russia to take that first step as far as I can see.

1:16:18 And so

1:16:20 I think

1:16:21 I think Trump has

1:16:23 something, you know, in the works,

1:16:25 but then this is how he goes about

1:16:28 talking about it. We heard president Trump earlier today say that he is sending special envoy Steve Whitkoff, his son-in-law Jared Kushner to Russian Ukraine to present this proposal to end the war there. Let's take a listen.

1:16:41 Jared Kushner and Steve Whitkoff are expected to go to Kyiv in Moscow. Are they bringing with them new proposals

1:16:46 to take them a proposal to end the war.

1:16:50 The same Because I ended eight wars.

1:16:53 I hope you're proud of me. I ended eight wars. I get no credit for it. I ended eight wars. Did I get the Nobel Prize? No. Although, the person that got it was nice enough

1:17:02 that she gave it to me. I invented podcasting. Do I get an award? No. Adam Curry gets the credit. Imagine I said that all the time.

1:17:10 Imagine.

1:17:11 So, yes, six tricks trips to Moscow and now to Kiev. Well, the two envoys are really just trying to revive,

1:17:18 attempt to revive long stalled diplomacy. We don't know that there's actually anything new in the proposal the president is having them bring to Moscow. Remember, was just last week the CIA director was in Moscow with a warning for Vladimir Putin. Do not escalate and do not get more aggressive against other European countries that are in NATO. Mhmm. But what is significant here is what we do know has changed is the situation on the ground. Ukraine has gained some momentum that has changed president Trump's thinking about president Zelensky. He's Listen to this. Bit warmer towards him. Really? Has he

1:17:51 I haven't heard any warmer towards him. Thinks he's a winner. Is that a loser? Oh, he's a heard I haven't heard him say that. Referring to him in the past. But what we know with that is that just getting Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner on a plane to Kyiv Kyiv. Is an achievement in and of itself.

1:18:08 There have been at least a half dozen trips to Moscow that carried out by Steve Witkoff. There have been zero to Ukraine.

1:18:15 The last high level official that I know of was the secretary of the army when he went last November to try to learn from Ukraine that secretary of the army, Dan Driscoll, no longer in the Trump administration.

1:18:26 Well,

1:18:27 I don't know.

1:18:29 The main I I definitely think that there's been messages going out like, hey, don't mess don't do it. Don't don't blow up something in Europe

1:18:37 and don't react when they say that you did it.

1:18:40 Right. Yeah. Hope so. The quadcopter with the faulty Yeah. I hope so. The faulty detonator. Yeah. Because these guys, they're crazy. The Europeans are crazy.

1:18:49 Well, we know why. They're they're they need the money. They That's the way they get the money. And Yep. So, yeah, they're they're gonna try to keep this going. And and they've been doing it. I think Trump got in. He's like, oh, I'll be able to make a phone call and get this thing I don't think he realized who he was going up against. He's going up against generational warfare.

1:19:07 And these people love it.

1:19:09 And then, of course, all of this

1:19:11 has only, you know, the blowing up of Russian infrastructure

1:19:16 has

1:19:19 that has just, you know, pushed the price of oil up even further,

1:19:23 which really screws screws up general Bess'n's promise. But I'm not gonna make a promise about when it's gonna return to $3. What I will say is that we have to remember why are we doing this? Number one, it's so that Iran never has a nuclear weapon. And number two, what we're doing right now is protecting commercial shipping in order to ensure that we don't have a worldwide energy crisis. The only reason the only reason we do not have a worldwide energy crisis is because of the leadership of the president, but also because of the fine work of our military from Pete Hegseth on down.

1:19:56 But the Iranians are doing what the Iranians do. I think that they're losing their capabilities by the day.

1:20:03 I think they're realizing, by the way, that that that their control over the Strait Of Hormuz is effectively gone.

1:20:09 I thought I had a I thought that was a clip of them talking about Yeah. That was Vance. I know. But but Bess had had said by Labor Day, we'll have $3 oil. And that didn't happen. It's I'd say, what is it now? I mean, I know what it is here. I know what Tomorrow it's Labor Day. Right. But I know a

1:20:25 gallon of gas here

1:20:27 is about $12.

1:20:29 Oh my gosh. We paid I paid it it and it's gone up. So Yeah. In the beginning of last week, it was $3.29

1:20:36 and by the end of the week, it was $3.68.

1:20:38 Same gas station. Okay. You're you're you're taking regular. You're not taking premium. Oh, yeah. No. That's all I take. I I don't buy into that 93 octane. Although I do get if I ever go buy a Buc ee's, I get the no octane at all. It's a No octane. No no ethanol in it. It's like the ethanol free gas. Oh, and how does that drive? Is it fast?

1:20:57 It feels like I have a little more power and I definitely get like maybe

1:21:02 a one to two miles per hour and I'm a a v eight truck. So I get one to two miles per hour extra in the mileage. Yeah.

1:21:10 I once had the Hydroxy Booster.

1:21:14 I'm telling you, that thing worked. Diesel helps fuel the American economy, powering the nation's truck fleet that transports almost everything we buy. So when diesel prices rise, businesses pass that on to consumers who ultimately pay the price.

1:21:29 These days, truck driver Carlos Freight gets sticker shock every time he fills up. It's getting rough to to

1:21:37 do this job. Diesel hit an all time high this week, now more than $2 above where it was when the war with Iran began. This time last year, we were just about, in a range of $8,000.

1:21:49 As of now, we're looking about,

1:21:52 12 to $15,000

1:21:54 a week Wow. In diesel expenses.

1:21:57 Yeah. That's a whole whole gets passed on to the customer. It does. It does. So I don't know. I don't know. I still Eggs are going up.

1:22:06 Oh, hey, we got the price of eggs down.

1:22:09 Yeah. I know. And they did a good job of doing that. I had a couple clips from last week and it was and this might not help the it was Duffy on truck school closures. They went after a bunch of, like, 100 and so different

1:22:21 trucking schools and and shut them down. And they they were, you know, one of the schools, their classroom was an old bus. They'd bring people in and teach them. Really? And yeah. In other words, they did have parking lots.

1:22:33 I don't know if you have the clips from,

1:22:35 1900, but Duffy on school truck closures one, two and three of those. Yep. Yeah. Hold on. Very very interesting. Here we go. What What goes

1:22:44 we are announcing

1:22:46 is

1:22:47 an emergency executive

1:22:49 shutdown of a 110

1:22:52 driving schools.

1:22:53 So these are driving schools

1:22:55 that

1:22:57 account for 5,000

1:22:59 of the violations for English proficiency.

1:23:03 You have to speak English

1:23:05 to operate a commercial motor vehicle. I didn't create that rule. President Trump didn't create that rule. That rule has been in place for decades

1:23:13 and

1:23:15 we have schools that know the rule and still pass people through their school who can't speak the language. And so there's a 110 of them through a data analysis

1:23:24 that are the greatest offenders. As of today, those schools are shut down.

1:23:28 Hold on. Don't don't they have to do a test? Don't they have to do like a DMV

1:23:33 test? Yeah. They have to take a test. And they were giving people and I'm looking at my clips now. I might have done the same clip twice

1:23:39 on clip two, but it might be the same it might be a different it might be a different clip. There are different sizes. But they're supposed to give them a test and they were some of these places were just passing people through. They yeah. They weren't giving them the English test. Go ahead. We also have shut down a 160

1:23:55 additional schools.

1:23:56 These are schools

1:23:58 that

1:23:59 in essence certified

1:24:00 that they are qualified to train truck drivers.

1:24:04 However they don't have space to even allow the truck driver to actually get behind the wheel and drive.

1:24:10 They have unlicensed

1:24:12 instructors.

1:24:14 You have instructors who are uncertified who are allegedly training the new truck drivers

1:24:20 to operate on American roadways and

1:24:23 they oftentimes didn't have classrooms.

1:24:26 One school that we're shutting down was so flippant as they told us their classroom was the school bus that was in the backyard. That was the classroom for which they were training

1:24:36 new truck drivers. Nice.

1:24:39 Yeah. I mean

1:24:40 Wow. Total total fraud of course and I think the third one is

1:24:46 is got a good kicker in it. Well for commercial drivers

1:24:49 oftentimes the states will certify testers

1:24:53 that will do it on the state's behalf.

1:24:55 What we found

1:24:57 through our data analysis

1:25:00 is that many of the certified state testers

1:25:04 actually

1:25:05 aren't adequately testing

1:25:07 the potential drivers that they're going to license.

1:25:10 In one state

1:25:12 there's 10 skills testers

1:25:14 and they work for the state. If they get through the skills test they're going to get a license. We have 10 skill testers

1:25:20 who have given over 2,000

1:25:24 driver's licenses to people who can't speak English.

1:25:27 This is the simplest of tests.

1:25:29 If you talk to anybody,

1:25:31 if you give a written test which they're these testers have to do,

1:25:35 you know if they speak and read English

1:25:39 and

1:25:39 over 2,000

1:25:41 could not speak or read English and they still were able to get a a state license.

1:25:46 So we are cracking down on this fraud. Well that's And we are going to bring safety back to American roadways.

1:25:54 And I guess there's some new jobs available then, I guess. There you go. Yeah. Or but that could also increase

1:26:00 on the short term if they're getting rid of thousands of

1:26:04 truck drivers out there. That's there's definitely gonna be a need for more truck drivers or

1:26:10 robot trucks, which is coming down the pipe.

1:26:14 Robot trucks. Have you been have you been following the gold?

1:26:18 No. I I don't even know where it's at right now. I mean, knew it had gone it hit its high a while back, but I hadn't been Well, that's actually the interesting here's a little historical clip about about gold. For decades,

1:26:30 The US has been considered This is

1:26:32 Richard

1:26:34 Quest. Oh, Richard England.

1:26:36 Yeah. Yeah. He's the guy that God, that was such a great story

1:26:40 where on New Year's Eve he was found in some park in New York

1:26:45 And he he'd been he'd been, you know, doing ketamine or something. And he had, you know, like, he had like sex toys in his boot and all kinds of stuff. They still have Muncie. I don't know what he's got on anyone at CNN, but he's been there forever. For decades,

1:27:00 The US has been considered one of the safest places to store gold.

1:27:05 Fort Knox, 600 miles from the Atlantic Coast, Uncle Sam buried his store of gold.

1:27:10 Armed patrols and mechanized units escort it to his new home, which is big enough for all the gold in the world.

1:27:16 As a protection against civil war, foreign invasion, and gangsters, the bullion is protected by electrified fences, gas filled steel barricades, and machine guns.

1:27:24 Compare the Bank of England. The old lady at Threadneedle Street doesn't even carry an umbrella. So the main the two main places where you keep your gold is in

1:27:33 in The United States, Fort Knox.

1:27:35 I'm still waiting for Elon to show us the gold. He was gonna livestream that. That didn't No. Listen. Rand Paul went there and he said it was all there, but he didn't show a picture. That's what you get. Oh, Rand Paul. When did he go there? Oh, about a month ago. He's like, I've been to Fort Knox. It's all good. Really? The gold's there. Oh, yeah. And everybody was roasting him because like, show us a picture. We don't believe you. Well, not all of it's there because the gold is going home. In terms of

1:28:01 storing gold,

1:28:03 the main places where gold has always been stored and the the the traditional places is historic.

1:28:09 Historical

1:28:10 reasons why gold is France, for example. Let's choose France. We'll give France a good France used to store of its gold into The United States.

1:28:19 But last year, after an upgrading

1:28:22 of various gold, it moved

1:28:24 the gold back to France itself.

1:28:28 In terms of The Netherlands, which we're talking about at the moment, now The Netherlands

1:28:32 had stored gold in Canada

1:28:35 and in The United States, but guess what? That's also been moved. But this time, it's been moved to The United Kingdom.

1:28:44 In other words, the major venues

1:28:47 for where gold has been stored in the past,

1:28:51 The US

1:28:52 and The UK.

1:28:54 Now more and more countries are deciding it's time to take the gold home.

1:28:59 And this is

1:29:00 indicative of

1:29:02 countries

1:29:03 being worried about some kind of financial

1:29:09 crash or perhaps that The United States as we are indeed doing A cyber attack is coming.

1:29:16 No. I don't think I don't think a cyber attack. But we're kicking people off the system. It was like, oh, you wanna take Iranian or Chinese

1:29:26 Iranian

1:29:27 oil money? No. No

1:29:29 dollars for you.

1:29:31 That's what that's about.

1:29:33 That's why Bitcoin is going up. Bitcoin is is having it's a resurgence moment because people, you know, that's the one thing that Scott Besson can stop. Nobody as long as they keep it in Bitcoin,

1:29:44 you know, if you try to go to Coinbase and sell it, yeah, Scott Besson will will block you.

1:29:49 Yeah. It looks like it's let's see. Let's get It's around 80. It's around 80 right now. 79. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I have we had a clip of that of that

1:29:58 well, I forget the guy's name that we had on just now, but the guy from CNN. But he was talking about a wedding

1:30:04 a wedding menu. I think it was the royal wedding. Yeah. Print and he goes, on on the menu is pea soup.

1:30:11 He's

1:30:13 pea soup.

1:30:15 And that's all I remember, that guy. He's the pea soup guy anytime I see him. Let me see. Let me see if I can find that

1:30:22 let me see.

1:30:23 That guy, he had such a a colorful history.

1:30:28 In quest So June?

1:30:30 Looks like June to August, it was down to like, you know, $10,000

1:30:34 or $15,000.

1:30:36 And now it's When? To 79.

1:30:38 No. June, it was down to 60. It went down to Yeah.

1:30:41 Okay. Yeah. Yeah.

1:30:43 Richard Quest. I I I can't believe I don't have that clip anymore.

1:30:47 Richard Quest.

1:30:50 It was the funniest thing.

1:30:53 Let me see.

1:30:54 We also had a weird clip of Yeah. Yeah. Polling

1:30:58 That He has some weird title. I don't have it. I don't have it anymore. Although he's dead now, I think. Hey, you promised us second half of show stuff. Oh my god. I need the jingle. Okay.

1:31:10 Do I have second half lined up?

1:31:14 I can do it for you.

1:31:16 Let me go backwards. Second half of second

1:31:19 half of show. This is my great system that I made. Okay.

1:31:24 Here we go.

1:31:29 Alright.

1:31:36 Alright. I hope I hope these do justice.

1:31:39 Alright. Second half of show. Alright. Have you ever heard of a Vega astrologer?

1:31:45 Vega astrologer. Or maybe it's Vega astrologer. And this was all in my mind last week and No. It is I think it's a Vega astrologer.

1:31:53 No.

1:31:54 And so I'm listening to the Tinfoil Hat podcast.

1:31:59 Oh, was that in Tripoli? Tripoli. Yes. Yeah. Tripoli. I've been doing, you know, since I've been doing the show, I haven't been listening to the show

1:32:07 cause I've I've got all the, you know, between me and you talking, I'm getting all the information I need. Yep. So I've been listening to a little bit of this. He has this guy on and I'm thinking, oh, this is gonna be boring.

1:32:16 For the first, I don't know, maybe thirty, forty minutes it is. And then all of a sudden, he starts talking about these old books.

1:32:22 And I had never heard I've heard of one of the books that was listed on here and I'd never heard of any of the other ones.

1:32:29 And he just rolls them off and talks about the different things in them and but we're gonna start with an easy one that a lot of people probably heard of is the Screwtape Letters. His last name's Harmon, and I'll find his full name. I just have j Harmon on there, but it starts with second half. J Harmon book one, Screwtape Letters. C. S. Lewis wrote a book. If anybody ever wants to read, it's a really interesting little book. It's called The Screwtape Letters.

1:32:53 And he makes a disclosure at the beginning of the book. He says, cannot verify whether this book is fact or fiction, but read it and see what you think.

1:33:03 And it's about this little demon

1:33:05 who reports back to his uncle, Scrutte, hence the name of the book. Right? So the the first little chapter, uncle, I just had one of my human subjects join a religion.

1:33:16 And the uncle's, don't worry about a thing. We've taken good care of that. We've changed all the books and that are really about us and nobody will figure it out. So don't worry about a thing. And then they'll notice everybody sitting in the pews in the church that are all hypocritical and the rest of the week they treat each other like shit and then come back and act holy. Right? But this book gets into some eerie stuff about how,

1:33:37 you know, we'll be

1:33:38 looking at something, the the titillation, the physical plane, and he'll tell the little demon how to get the human to get his mind off that and get it over on this. So it's all about consciousness in the mind.

1:33:51 And back to what you were saying earlier,

1:33:54 these people get immense physical powers

1:33:58 in the realms

1:34:00 by doing certain things,

1:34:02 sacrifices,

1:34:03 etcetera, etcetera. And they seem to be enamored with blood.

1:34:06 Now David I correct into a lot of this. You know, a lot people thought David I guess I'm crazy. Now they're going, you know, this guy might not have been wrong. Okay. Highly recommend reading the Screwtape letters. Highly recommend it. It's definitely

1:34:19 I don't know why he's he's making this sound so screwy. Screwy tape.

1:34:25 Have you read them? I have not read them. So I'm I'm gonna check out all three or four of the books this guy mentioned just because I've I've

1:34:32 there was a guy who recently committed suicide. His name was Joe Fels, I think it was his name. And he was into collecting old Bibles and he was gonna scan them and put them on the Internet and then all of a sudden he's in a mental institution and he hangs himself. And of course of course, he said many times, I'm never gonna commit suicide. Yes. I'm not suicidal.

1:34:50 Yes. Of course. My radar is pinged to anything old now. I'm like, oh, let's find old books. And, you know, I got started in this back in the nineties, you know, getting

1:35:01 Who Runs Congress and None Dear Call a Conspiracy. I found these in an old used bookstore in the conspiracy section, which was two shelves. Mhmm. And I'm reading these and I'm like, okay, this looks good. And it's small.

1:35:12 None Dear Call a Conspiracy is a very small book but talks about world government. And then you go to Who Runs Congress? And that was written by Ralph Nader.

1:35:19 And it's about how Congress is basically corrupt and

1:35:23 it talked about the price of milk a lot because they started regulating the price of milk, which is why it became so cheap.

1:35:29 And so those those got me kind of started on my trail of look peering behind the curtain.

1:35:35 So I'm always looking and when people are talking about old things and how they it just kind of piques my interest.

1:35:40 Now this next book, I'd never heard of it. I'd heard of the Screwtape Letters. I just never read it, but I'm definitely gonna go You should read it. Find a copy. Should read it. Yeah. I'm gonna get a copy and check it out. But the

1:35:50 Shahar Hagiliam

1:35:52 is this other book he's talking about and I've got actually two clips on this and the who it was written by. I I just think this stuff is interesting, and if I don't know if you've ever heard of this book or not. It might be something for you and pastor Jimmy to talk about, but here's

1:36:06 here's clip two. Screwtape letters for sure. I don't know about this next one. They they literally say in the Sharia Gilgum that

1:36:14 when we are born, we're knocked out. Remember that first breath? That's when the spirit, psyche, and soul say we all have a mark right here. It's called the mark of silence.

1:36:24 And And real quick. I'll tell you the the mark

1:36:26 the mark is right under your nose, that little dimple where your lip that right before your lip is, that's what he's referring to. He of says silence? That's what he's saying the mark of silence is. And Okay. That's when and he says when you take your first breath, that's actually your soul, when your soul

1:36:42 enters your body. Yeah. Absolutely. And yeah. Pretty interesting stuff. Now, let me finish that clip. Us out.

1:36:49 Look at a little baby.

1:36:51 They can't stand,

1:36:52 see, or talk. Now they see real soon after that. What's interesting is we're knocked out. Now the gray matter of the brain and the lower

1:37:03 consciousness is reforming.

1:37:06 The sharia gilgam refers to that lower conscious mind as a strange word called the nafesh.

1:37:12 The nafesh is just synonymous with your lower

1:37:15 present personality.

1:37:17 The first seven years,

1:37:19 the child goes through amazing

1:37:21 development.

1:37:22 I mean, it's just stunning.

1:37:24 So the lower conscious mind is not us. It's the interface to this dense world of time and space. Yeah. And everybody

1:37:33 believes everything they see, touch, feel, and and hear, and they're right. It's it's real. And God might have done us a favor by knocking us out. Because if we could see all the disincarnate souls, spirits, angels, and intelligences,

1:37:45 and elementals around us, we probably couldn't walk across the room without flipping our cookies. Ah, I like this. This is By

1:37:54 the way, so my daughter,

1:37:56 she says, you know, people

1:37:58 have given her all kinds of stuff for the baby. And she has these flashcards and so she's, you know, these flashcards,

1:38:05 they're just black and white images,

1:38:08 like shapes? And she says, no, because babies can't, you know, they can't really see color yet and they they just see contrast.

1:38:16 And I'm looking at these flash cards. I'm like, this is MK MK altering my my grandpa. Is it like pentagrams and stuff? What's on these cards? What are you doing? I don't trust this stuff. Demon horns.

1:38:28 It's like triangles

1:38:30 and, you know, checkers. I don't know. I I don't think you should be showing them to her.

1:38:36 I I I like his line there at the end, losing your cookies. Oh, one one quick.

1:38:41 Does she have the Norwegian snot sucker?

1:38:45 What is that?

1:38:46 Alright. So kids get stuffy noses. Oh, it's like a little bulb and you just suck it out? Well, no. No. No. This actually because the bulb thing gets gross inside Yeah. Of

1:38:55 So what you get is this thing and then you literally

1:38:58 use your mouth and you you stick the thing into the kid's nose and you suck it out, the snot out and it goes into a sponge. A sponge catches it so you don't, you know, swallow it. Hey. My my granddaughter doesn't have snotty nose. Okay? I'm just Oh. She doesn't have that. She doesn't have that. She's perfect. Just wait till she starts breathing them chemtrails.

1:39:18 She's gonna come.

1:39:20 With with my kids, it was shoot silver water up the nose and suck it out. And I did that Colloidal silver. Colloidal silver. Yeah.

1:39:29 Yeah. And and the kid and yet, let me tell you, my kids are really they're very healthy and we never had

1:39:35 they never got what what my wife gets a lot, these sinus infections. Yeah. But they've we've managed to keep them keep them clean. Yeah. You you make them eat rocks.

1:39:45 Yeah. You know, whatever whatever helps. As

1:39:49 long as they're not coated in glyphosate. I'm like, eat whatever you want. Alright. Clip two of this

1:39:55 Sharjah The Sharjah Gilgum. Yeah. Previously concretized beliefs,

1:39:59 also habit patterns, and more importantly,

1:40:02 karmas that are connected to the soul root down into time and space.

1:40:07 This is why

1:40:09 intentions, prayers, meditations actually do matter, because we have met thought form elementals out of the third eye chakra,

1:40:17 which permeate And the auric

1:40:20 you don't lose that when you lose this. When we exit the body known as death,

1:40:26 you're you're not dead. Your consciousness

1:40:28 goes right on. There's they actually say there's seven locusts right outside of the earth, and I'm not making this up. It's in the Vedas.

1:40:36 Talk about dimensional In a book. Cyclical locusts. The Sharia Gilgum will blow your hair back. It literally talks about how consciousness

1:40:45 and karmas

1:40:47 have to grow

1:40:49 in order to escape from Alcatraz. The earth is a time machine. It's all it is. It's a divine

1:40:56 experiential place of genetic

1:40:58 time and space and experience.

1:41:00 And I think it's really divine. I always say I love the human race. It's just the damn people that irritate me. Yeah. I'm with you. Wow.

1:41:08 Wow.

1:41:09 It's a spaceship. We're on spaceship Earth. Interesting descriptive

1:41:13 language of stuff that we don't I don't think always think about. And we know where we're at, what we're doing. We're always, you know, concerned with the mundane of No. We're not. We're just glued to our screens and

1:41:23 hyper focused on the Lancey Clancy.

1:41:26 And and now yeah. And now this final clip is about karma. You you pass out karma a lot. You've done it for coming up on nineteen years. And he starts talking about karma. He mentions a little bit in that first part, which kind of piqued my interest, but then he gets into his here is a definition of karma.

1:41:42 What what what's the difference between getting possessed by a ghost and a demon? Is there two different things? Because I've I mean Oh, yeah. Yeah? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You I'm glad you brought that up. Because there's so many different levels. See now if you get that text I talked about, the Sharia Gilgum,

1:41:57 there's another one I love, it's called Minot Yehuda. It was written by a rabbi

1:42:02 in the late eighteen hundreds, early nineteen hundreds

1:42:05 and he specifically addresses what doctor Carl Wickland and many of these other practitioners

1:42:11 have discovered. And that and the Sharia Gogham addresses this specifically,

1:42:15 which means the human order is like a sieve.

1:42:19 When you do drugs and alcohol, you weaken the auric magnetic field and stuff comes in on you.

1:42:25 Anger can do that. Also,

1:42:27 violence or

1:42:29 even if you have a genetic

1:42:32 makeup like that. See, God created time so everything wouldn't happen at once, in my opinion. And the earth is a soul cauldron

1:42:40 where souls come here and experience time and space,

1:42:44 And karma

1:42:45 is really interesting because, you know, us westerners, we get a little nervous when we hear that word karma. Right? You know, I I know I did when I first heard it. But karma is really the thought form elementals

1:42:57 that we created not only in this lifetime,

1:42:59 but are attached to our soul root.

1:43:03 And this is deep stuff. If reincarnation is possible, which I absolutely know it is in my heart, I don't sell that to anybody, But if you look at the evidence, it's look at Monroe.

1:43:12 I mean, Monroe was totally scientific and Edgar Cayce and so so many others

1:43:18 that have provided evidence

1:43:20 that is overwhelming. Yeah. If I had my shofar right now, I'd be blowing it, Rob Dew. Just to get rid of all of this nasty stuff that you brought into the show. This none of this can be any good. Screw tape, okay. I was alright with that. But then all this stuff, nah.

1:43:35 No. I stay away from that. You don't want any of that stuff entering your consciousness at all.

1:43:40 Well, what do you what do you think about their definition of karma?

1:43:43 I don't like it.

1:43:45 Yeah. I don't like any of it. I don't like any of it. Ever since I became a believer, like, no, stay away from that. No tarot cards, no karma. I mean, people ask for karma. I do it because they ask for it. I love that people, you know, said I want the prayers,

1:44:00 prayers not karma. Right. Yep. Yep. Do I have that clip here? Yeah. So we have that jingle.

1:44:06 You've got prayers.

1:44:08 Now,

1:44:11 you're you're you're trying to sweep away those clips with the the prayer card, the prayers. Yes. Exactly. I'm just sweeping it all sweeping it all under the rug. There we go, ladies and gentlemen. Marjorie, second half of show. There it is. Rob Dew brings you the second half of show. Creeping me out. I thought it was definitely weird enough to bring to the second half of show. And I'm not endorsing anything he said. I haven't read any of those books.

1:44:33 But

1:44:34 I thought it was pretty interesting and I I like some of his descriptive language, like, you know,

1:44:38 what is Earth? You know, is Earth is Earth a time machine? Are we just here to experiencing time? Because you could say it, you know, a time machine, you're traveling forward or backward, but we are kind of experiencing the present as we go. So I thought that was I thought that was one of the interesting points. I really think you shouldn't be smoking weed during the show. That's I just think you should stop. Now as a dad, I think you'll like because I I listened to this and I had immediate like, wow, man, this is where we're at. This was a story that popped up and

1:45:05 you have kids. How many do you have? Five, seven, four? No. Only four. Four kids.

1:45:11 This this was a really interesting story that I just want to discuss with another parent. Mom is fighting back after she was sentenced to six months in jail for letting her five year old son walk alone in a gated community

1:45:25 to a nearby pond. The mom, Carrie Ann Parkinson, said she will let her five year old son walk about half a mile in that community

1:45:34 to collect goose feathers because this is what little Sam loves to do. They had just been at the pond, and he said, can I go back and get some more? So she let him. Someone saw Sam. Wait. Wait. This I'll you how this went down. Mom. Mom. Mom. Let's go get more goose feathers. Let's get more. Okay. Just you could go by your go ahead. You're fine. Exactly. That's A how nosy neighbor and alerted neighborhood security,

1:45:55 please. And they escorted Sam home, and they called the police into the situation. Parkinson told the cops she wasn't interested in talking to them, so they called for backup

1:46:06 and child protective services. Parkinson's husband argued kids need to be able to take reasonable risks in order to grow up non anxious.

1:46:13 To which C. P. S. Responded, a five year old child can never be unsupervised.

1:46:18 Parkinson was convicted contributing to the delinquency of a minor, a first degree misdemeanor.

1:46:23 A judge suspended

1:46:25 wisely the six month jail sentence depending on her behavior,

1:46:29 but the conviction remains, and she will have to spend seven years, seven years

1:46:33 on the state's child abuse

1:46:36 neglect registry.

1:46:37 She is appealing. She tells Fox News that she stands by her parenting choices.

1:46:42 I was trying to think. I think I was walking around unsupervised

1:46:46 when I was five, I think.

1:46:49 I know by six, I was riding my bike to my friend's house who lived probably more than half a mile away. I was able to do that. Yeah. We had woods. Start riding a bike till six. We had woods in the back of the house and I'd be, you know, be running around and just doing stuff and beyond the fence. Oh, yeah. We had the magic stream. So now we have a a new term which is you had the magic stream? What? The magic stream. Yeah. It had a had crawfish in it. We got a Okay. It was basically a a drainage ditch but, know Imagine it had roofs on on the sides of it. So we were, you know, we made elevator branches and everything else. So now we have the new term neighbor narcs. The majority of people in prison for for nonviolent offenses

1:47:30 are there because of their neighbors. Neighbor narcs are a massive epidemic. Neighbor narcs. Epidemic. They are the re it is so true. They they are I can't stand it. This is an abject failure of prosecutorial discretion. Her having to be on the child abuse and neglect registry for seven years means that she likely can't volunteer in her children's schools. She might not be able to get her law license. You heard her. She's incredibly thoughtful and articulate

1:47:52 articulate.

1:47:53 I'm not. And smart and loving of her child. And when I think about the way I was raised in all of us, I mean, chances are the fact that we're all sitting here means we have a measure of resilience that our parents instilled in us. And her decision to let him go collect goose feathers, which is adorable

1:48:07 Adorable. With his best interests in mind because it was fostering his competence and his really resiliency.

1:48:15 I

1:48:16 mean Yeah. Overall, I think five I would not let my five year old walk half a mile to the pond to go collect goose feathers. I wouldn't do that personally.

1:48:25 But,

1:48:26 you know, that's maybe her kid's a little different. And she felt that I I think as a parent, you're allowed to make those decisions.

1:48:33 There was another

1:48:35 I saw a video of a guy. These cops came to the house and, they wanted to talk to the kid to see if he was okay because of some video he supposedly saw at school.

1:48:45 And the guy's like, no, I don't know what you're telling he asked his son, do you know what I'm talking about? He's like, no, there's no video. And and so the cops didn't wanna leave

1:48:52 until

1:48:54 the he's talking to him through a window and and they're like, we need to see your kid. So he brings the kid over and they ask him if he's okay. He said, yeah. And so they're walking off and then the guys because he wouldn't let him in the house, they're like, well, we'll see what happens when we get CPS involved. Yeah. And so and then the guy goes to the school the next day and the principal, the counselor, nobody knows anything about this video. It's like, oh, the guy but the guy made some,

1:49:17 posts online

1:49:19 about the police force. And so they it's like they were inventing something to come. Oh, wow. Which is total ridiculousness.

1:49:25 Well, The crazy thing about this story

1:49:28 is that in Virginia, and I love this, they have free range laws, like your kids are chickens. But So they have laws where you're allowed to have your kid run around, but they got around it by going to child protective services, which I learned from Alex Jones, They're

1:49:43 the problem, man. They I got the documents. They're the problem. Yeah. I well, what's crazy about this legally and one of the most horrifying aspects in my opinion is that this is actually indirect contradiction with a Virginia law that was passed back in 2023 under former governor Glenn Youngkin. It was a free range parenting law that specifically narrowed the definition of child neglect to protect parents who let their children have some element of independence and freedom.

1:50:08 And the police in this case decided to move forward with prosecuting this woman anyway, which is why they had to charge her with contributing to the delinquency of a minor because they couldn't actually prosecute her for child neglect. No, man. Where Now that's ridiculous. Where Yeah. That's wrong. It's way too far, and she'll probably get a liberal judge who's gonna side with the police. Yeah. That's the sad part. Yeah. And, know, you used to think liberals were,

1:50:31 all about freedom and and stuff like that. It's it was

1:50:35 Youngkin, he was like a middle of the road kind of conservative governor who got that passed. You know what? We've been taking a lot of Ubers from the hotel to my to my daughter's house. It's like fifteen fifteen minute ride, you know, it's a little too far to walk.

1:50:50 And

1:50:51 so, you know, I'm talking to the by the way, an Uber Black in Rotterdam

1:50:56 is basically a Tesla with a Muslim driver.

1:50:59 It's it's amazing. It's amazing. It's a different color in Tesla, you know, it is black, it's gray, it's blue, but it's a and and and everyone's either Mohammed or

1:51:10 Abdul? No. There's no Abduls. We had a Lena, a couple different ones. Yeah. I'm saying, but you know, this like, some are from Morocco, some are from Syria,

1:51:19 one was from India, know, that's what I'm talking. And and you talk about America

1:51:24 and and it's not just the Uber drivers, but almost everybody who has not been to America, they're like,

1:51:30 but isn't America really dangerous? Don't you have all those guns? Yes. Yeah. Yeah. You have all the guns and

1:51:37 yeah. I mean, you know, people get shot on the street all the time and I realized that this is what social media has done.

1:51:44 You know, because you know, you see, you know, I see people fighting and you know, they get on the algo and just one after another after another. And these people really truly believe that we live in some horrible destructive

1:51:56 society

1:51:58 where everyone's just killing each other.

1:52:00 It's amazing. Where they're really living in the prison here themselves.

1:52:04 They have no idea. Well,

1:52:06 from where these guys probably came from, where their parents came from, it probably was pretty bad. And and they're like, well, look at this. And they give us free and they give us money and or they pay for our housing. And there's there's a high standard safety social safety net for the migrants coming into Some of these guys I I think are legit, but I think some of them are also running the drugs.

1:52:27 Like, are you making money with this? And these Teslas,

1:52:30 man,

1:52:31 they rattle.

1:52:33 That mean have

1:52:35 you ever been in It's all plastic. It is. You know, I've been I had a friend had a Tesla. He had a Cybertruck too at one point. He got rid of the Cybertruck. But he he got a Tesla first

1:52:45 and he loved it. And then he got a Cybertruck and then he bought a diesel truck. Yeah. And then he went back to another Tesla. He got another Tesla. He I think he just likes buying cars. People, you know, the oh, the the Cybertruck is is, foreboding here because it has sharp edges, you know, might hurt somebody. So you can't have a Cybertruck.

1:53:02 But the Teslas,

1:53:04 man, and but you there's I haven't been in a single Tesla that doesn't rattle. Just rattling.

1:53:09 Like everywhere.

1:53:10 It's like creaking, rattling. No. It's plastic.

1:53:14 Well, you're you're leading into my Tesla clips. I have the the cyber taxi just launched in Austin Yes. Two days ago. Were you at the event?

1:53:22 Oh, no.

1:53:24 I I hear,

1:53:26 Wall Street did not like it because,

1:53:28 I guess, because

1:53:30 it wasn't streamed live or anyway, what clip let's No. What happened? We'll start with the first one. Tesla Cyber Taxi launch FCC investigation.

1:53:39 That's why the the stock price went down. Hold on a second. Tesla

1:53:43 wait. Where? Tesla Cyber Taxi.

1:53:46 It starts with t.

1:53:48 No kidding. Okay. Tesla's driverless taxis now under a federal investigation, and it comes just one day after hundreds of the cybercavs hit the roads in Austin, Texas. Now federal investigators are looking into into whether the two seat cars comply with safety standards given that they lack steering wheels, mirrors, and brake pedals. Neither Tesla nor its CEO, Elon Musk, has responded to a request for comment.

1:54:12 So that's why your stock price went down because of the FCC investigation.

1:54:17 Wait. The f the FCC? What do they have to do with this? I don't know. That's what it says. The FCC?

1:54:23 I maybe there's some sort of weird it's a Federal Communications Commission. That's what I thought. So I'm like, I don't understand it. Okay.

1:54:30 Maybe he said FTC. He might have said FTC.

1:54:33 Federal Transportation. That was Yeah. That That does seem a little weird. Okay.

1:54:37 I couldn't there's a couple words this guy pronounced I'm like, I don't understand what he's saying. Okay. And this is an ABC anchor. Alright. Now,

1:54:45 just the other day, I think it was yesterday, this guy posted

1:54:48 you're gonna love this one. It says cyber taxi to police.

1:54:52 Okay. Biometrics verified.

1:54:55 Navigating to city of Austin police department for further verification and potential detainment. What? What? So what do you mean you verified my identity? And what do you mean detainment?

1:55:05 We're in the City Of Austin. Like, what's going on? I don't think I've been in Austin for, like, fifteen years.

1:55:10 Don't tell me, like, you you check police records.

1:55:16 Using the in cabin biometric scanner,

1:55:18 cross referenced facial geometry with the department's database. Oh, no. There's a flag on a partial match from fifteen years back. What the Standard protocol when the match hits that threshold.

1:55:28 Don't worry. It's probably nothing, but the vehicle's already locked the route.

1:55:33 Oh, my god. So what exactly is gonna happen to me when I get there?

1:55:37 You'll be escorted inside for a quick identity check. What? They'll run a full scan, ask a few questions, maybe pull any old records. Oh. It should be in and out in under an hour if An everything checks

1:55:48 hour? I have to my flight leaves in two hours. Like, I was supposed to go right back to my hotel.

1:55:55 The route's already committed.

1:55:58 Twenty one minutes to the station.

1:56:00 Reroute to the hotel now. No. Rob, dude, you've been punked. No way. This is not true. This is bull crap. Alright. Play play the kicker clip. We'll skip the other two. Okay. Do you remember the entire conversation we had about you taking me to the police station, like, as a prank? Do you do you still remember that?

1:56:18 Yeah. I remember that wild idea. Okay. What was the plan again? Give the viewers a rundown of what happened,

1:56:25 asked you to do, like what type of scenario I wanted you to, you know, play out with me. You wanted me to role play taking you to the police station as a prank. You wanted a fun prank scenario where I'd pretend to reroute the robo taxi to the station instead of your real destination,

1:56:40 keeping it all light cut it there. So So I had two other clips to see if I could get it past you. No.

1:56:47 First, the the the the the real giveaway was I need to go to the airport. No. Because they don't go outside of the city of Austin. They don't they will not take you to the airport. Oh, I should have cut that part out. I almost cut that line out. And also You might have you might have fell for it. No. Come on.

1:57:03 I'm a vibe coder, man. You can't you can't get that by me. That's not gonna happen.

1:57:08 I I like the part where he says, do you remember the plan we had? He's like, of course, I remember it. What was the plan again?

1:57:16 Just it's like, yeah, I'll count to a 100. Let's count to a 100. Are you sure? We're gonna do it. Very funny. Very very funny. Very funny. I wanna see if I get that one past you. Now, I do have now, these clip, you gotta we gotta play these before I go.

1:57:29 You I'll let you do the final series.

1:57:32 Alright. Cole Johnson,

1:57:34 MMA chimp fight.

1:57:36 Okay.

1:57:37 What do I need to know about Cole Johnson?

1:57:40 He's an MMA fighter. He's only had one fight apparently, but Okay. This is where he's going next. I got an offer for

1:57:46 even more money in amount that I can't even disclose. So this is a Mailchimp that bit a couple people,

1:57:51 and these guys are like, alright. You might as well do this. We'll give you some money. We're gonna blow this up. You know, these these people I'm working with now, they're a little bit less sketchy. They're gonna have I mean, I'll interrupt you. They're they're they're sketchy. Yeah. They they they're they're not fighting a chimp in a foreign country. Would the chimp be sedated in any way, shape, or form? Or it's like just as is? There's no they're not gonna cut the teeth. They're not gonna cut the claws or anything like that. Gosh, brother. And there's gonna be people with tranquilizers as well. So I wanna go against this wild animal and test myself against it. I don't wanna kill this wild animal and I don't wanna die. We're gonna fight until I see, obviously, I'm winning. Alright? If it's killing me, it's gonna get tranquilized. This thing is gonna eat his face off. This is a very, very bad idea. Very He does bad not realize how strong these things are. What kind of chimp? Is it like, you know, like the chimp from

1:58:37 I mean, what kind of chimp is it? It's not Michael Jackson chimp. It's gonna be like a chimp chimp that's gonna hurt And

1:58:43 he's gonna be big and angry. I don't think he knows how strong these things are. Next is how he plans to fight the Hold on a second. Yeah. Are the television rights already secured for this fight? Well, knew that's what you'd want. Can I still

1:58:56 get in on this action? Is this gonna be a cage like a traditional MMA style cage or is it like on concrete? Like what is this? What is the setting? On grass. It's gonna be Like a street beefs. Yep. It's gonna be like a street beefs. It's gonna be outdoors. It's gonna be I think the cage is gonna be pretty large. You realize if this chimp bites you in your neck or face,

1:59:15 you know, it sure. You could tranquilize it, but tranquilizers don't work immediately.

1:59:19 Like Yeah. In the movies, like, don't go boom and then they're out. Like, it takes, like, a while. Definitely a serious injury could a 100% happen. If it gets my arm, it's not the end of the world. I've been training my whole life to slam people from any position. Right? Really, it's about protecting my balls and my neck, specifically. I got a couple game plans here. So the first plan, I'm gonna be, you know, trying to keep it at distance, seeing if I can keep it off me. We'll go for a couple minutes. I'll get this thing exhausted, and then I'll go in for a slam or something.

1:59:43 Rob, is this another scam you're pulling on me? Is this real? Is this is this for real? It seems seems real and there's I I looked and there are articles about this about this guy going after a champ, but they're like, he's got a one and o amateur record. I'm like, oh my goodness. The champ?

1:59:59 No. No. The Cole Johnson. Okay. But apparently, he slams really well. That's his thing. He he picks people up and slams them down. And I guess that's what he's gonna try with this chimp. But you try to slam a chimp, it's just gonna roll you're not chimps know how to fight. This is I mean, they're physically stronger. This is really level Dvorak's TikTok ladies. I mean, you're you're really you're really pushing my patience here. One

2:00:22 more. You gotta clip three. It gets even better. After this fight, I've been talking to a tribe out in the Arctic Circle. They have told me they have a polar bear out there. Obviously, I'm not gonna fight a polar bear. Can't do a polar bear. No. They told me, alright. There's this polar bear that's been eating people's dogs. It's been attacking people. That's gonna be put down. You can come and you can fight this thing with a sword and we will give you money. Like, I've been hunting my whole life, training my whole life. I know how wild animal acts. I stand a pretty good chance against a polar bear too with a big sword. I think I have that one as well. Are you trained in sword fighting?

2:00:50 I am not. That would be a camp I would have to really lock in for for sure. Okay. Alright. I'm I'm calling Dame and Berneti. We're gonna get the rights. We definitely have this is a pay per view extravaganza.

2:01:02 One of the shortest fights in MMA history, no doubt. This guy's gonna die. This is not I don't think he's gonna make it the polar bear I don't think so. If he if he actually fights a champ.

2:01:11 Hey, Rob A lot of people are gonna watch it. I guarantee you, people will watch it. They will be into it. I know.

2:01:17 Rob, thank you so much for

My schedule is very busy, but, you know, it's a it's a lot of fun and I've really enjoyed it. And a lot of people have been sending me stuff, which is why some of this stuff is up here. Like, hey.

There he is everybody, sir Duchess,

2:02:06 Du, once again on the best podcast in universe.

2:02:09 Thank you, brother. We kept the clip.

2:02:22 Footage landing late in feral These will piss as rack a glass While payroll poses evergreen Cotton kilowatt Keep receipts of what the podium can mean Ballots ride the first glass dark A rush portal they patrol Whistle on a midnight stack, the midterm sitting on parole Wick off, cushion a dual track hopper piece Pitch riding his envoy drone Kiss on the intel pain The ceasefire works as decoy data centers goat The current school boards freeze the bot mid riot Win the silicone You win the age The meter stays on quiet UN inflates the continent, America The soul dissent to correct the map, correct the myth projection playing Inventing the power flood A thousand plus The tunnels keep their prisoners To crawl out on day nine dark The sermon skips the listless joint staff scrapped to polygraph. The leak hunts after munitions. Iron knights in stockpile math. They chase the source through superstitions.

2:03:10 Gloria exits 92.

2:03:11 The coverage building, a cathedral missing fights. And later turns, they frame her life as medieval.

2:03:18 Saxony. The postwar mask in a free fall anchors chant the danger him. The voters answer a roll call. Sarah Post, the Manila bond, a death threat turning a warrant. Marco's house in deuterated blood. The island's ride a torrent vest and strips the money. Choke kinetic opening device. Orb is turning worthless water. Pipelines price a new device. 65,000,000,000

Classroom banning neighborhood know the future wearing a new fleece. They splice the morning into myth o myth the bill inside the package dawn desk. Notes and open clips, we treat the feed as wreckage. No advertiser owns the desk. The covenant stays voluntary. You feed the signal, keep it live. The morning stays honoraries.

2:04:24 Producer notes. No agendashow.net,

2:04:27 boost the show.

2:04:29 Gitmo

2:04:31 Nation. In the morning. That's

2:04:35 right.

2:04:36 Just Baker does it again. Two clips again. And

2:04:45 just Morning. I just realized, no wonder the trolls didn't show up. I never sent out the the actual tweet.

2:04:52 It's what happens when it's I don't know. It's what is it now? It's almost ten past ten

2:04:57 Sunday evening here in The Netherlands. This is your Value4Value

2:05:01 best podcast in the universe. You know how it works. At least you should know how it works. If you get any value out of the show, send it back in any of the three ways. Time, talent, treasure, you can do all three of course. You can do all kinds of things for us. Boots on the ground are very helpful. That's how I actually got into the whole signal signal trace system from boots on the ground, one of our producers.

2:05:22 You can tell somebody about the podcast, get them to listen, hit them in the mouth, we love that. And also you could do things like create art for us and you guys have really been doing some good work. This

2:05:32 The artwork for episode

2:05:34 1,900,

2:05:35 Trust the Plan, as we titled it,

2:05:38 was Francisco

2:05:40 Scaramanga brought us a beautiful penetration tester kit, 33 ways to throw it. Now here's the funny thing,

2:05:46 so I have the robot do the chapters for every single show and you know, it goes into the No Agenda Art Generator,

2:05:53 it pulls different images

2:05:55 and it puts them in the chapters and it looks at the titles

2:05:59 and I got a note from one of our producers, he said, you know, it doesn't really bother me but my 10 year old son was

2:06:06 looking at at my pod at my phone and said, dad, what kind of podcast are you listening to? And it had pulled a couple of those pieces of art that comic strip blogger put up there. I'm not even gonna describe it to you but it was wrong. It was

2:06:21 so like,

2:06:22 hold on a second, that showed up in the chapters?

2:06:24 And I told the robot, I said, you know, you gotta make sure that you're not putting, you know, lewd stuff in this chapter art. And and it literally

2:06:33 went in,

2:06:34 looked at the art, quote unquote looked at the art and said, oh, oh yeah, no, I'm gonna have to quote unquote look at the art from now on. But the penetration tester, that's just a a long a long dart toy. So, you know,

2:06:47 are we near anywhere near

2:06:49 artificial general intelligence? I don't think so.

2:06:53 Anyway, thank you Francisco Scaramanga for bringing us the artwork for episode 1,900.

2:06:59 I wanna thank people who supported us with some treasure,

2:07:03 Not a lot actually, but it is of course it is the

2:07:07 is the show after 1,900 and it is Labor Day weekend. But we did get $333.33.

2:07:14 Good for an Order of the Ant award and pin from Baron,

2:07:19 no protector

2:07:21 of the Rhine Estuary.

2:07:23 And he sent a note and it's a long one, I will read it. ITM Adam, of course, that's always the deal. We thank everybody, $50 and above. If it's $200 or more, you get an associate executive producer credit and we'll read your note, $300 or more executive producer credit and we read your note.

2:07:38 I sent my donation through PayPal, belated happy birthday. I'm still one week ahead of you. You mean with your birthday, I guess. Hope you have a great time in my hometown. Oh, is he is he in Rotterdam?

2:07:48 Enjoy the moments with little Cleo, Christina and Kevin. We have been enjoying it indeed.

2:07:52 Heard your comments two shows ago on the role of Rotterdam in the drug trafficking in Europe. I'm still awestruck

2:07:58 looking at the downfall we have seen over here in the last three decades. Only a day or two ago there was a Mexican style shootout

2:08:04 near the Belgian border where 35 thugs were invading another drug lord's house killing one.

2:08:11 Europe is crumbling and it's going downhill fast, he says.

2:08:15 One thing I wanted to give some nuance in is you commenting on the Moluccans.

2:08:19 Oh, yes.

2:08:20 They were causing issues in the seventies hijacking trains and schools. Note, however, that the Moluccans were this is true. You know what? Thank you for the context. Note that the Moluccans were brought to The Netherlands in 1949 as they were the backbone of the Netherlands Indies army at the time.

2:08:36 And after the transfer of power by The Netherlands to Indonesia, many Moluccan NCOs and soldiers were shipped to The Netherlands as part of the Dutch army and decommissioned upon arrival.

2:08:46 They were housed in former concentration camps and basically given the middle finger by the Dutch government, so entirely different stuff from the Moroccans

2:08:54 who are late entrants. Indeed, and I I do apologize.

2:08:58 I would appreciate a plain karma as my oldest human resource is getting wed to a Kiwi national on September 12. We have a big hooey hooey planned for their marriage with

2:09:08 Antibodian

2:09:09 parents and the siblings around. Still miss JCD, of course. Many compliments to sir Duchess and Jason for the last couple of episodes. All the best and thank you for your courage. Of course, we have a karma for you. You've got karma.

2:09:24 John Whidden from Kodiak,
